I still think Andersson is the starting point. Trouba has been an anchor of a player and Andersson is an upgrade to their top 4.
Besides, when Trouba and Gudas contracts are up next summer, what are the Ducks going to do? The best UFA RD for next summer is Andersson. Once Andersson is off the board the next best RD on the market is "36 year old" Carlson? Or "3rd pair minutes" Raddysh?
After that I would probably offer some combination of the Vegas 2026 pick, Zary, Farabee (if he wants a 'vet') or one of our prospect wingers (LW specifically as they look to have a lot of RW in the system).
Side note: It still seems odd that the Ducks took Cs with their first two picks last draft (McQueen and Nilson).
