Think my plan would be to launch Andersson at the deadline unless you get an offer you can’t refuse from someone with injuries.
In the meantime I would get Parekh and one or two young D from the farm as ready as they can be to step into the lineup. Maybe some sort of rotation.
Will be tricky to handle.
