I think the biggest issue is the risk they are taking on because of an injury and what not.

To be clear though just because those players got those returns doesn't mean Rasmus would have. I think he would have, but we don't know. Those are very different types of player. I would argue similar value, but different types.

But thank you for at least establishing your bar.
If a return similar to those can be had then no, it won’t be messed up. In my view there’s 2 factors playing against the flames now, injuries (like you mentioned) and time decay. A part of Anderssons value is in his current contract and as time goes on a team trading for him will utilize that contract less and less.

If they can’t trade him before the season starts for a strong return they may as well hold on until the TDL and pray that the market is volatile enough for a good return.
