But that is why you add a 1st and a winger prospect to the deal.
There are only 20 RD above Andersson in points in his "bad" season last year. Considering there are 32 teams, that would imply he is a top pair dman. If you look at a different stat like TOI, he was #8 in the league for RD.
You are both valuing him too low because of +/-.
Also, it is lazy to say that a trade can only happen with Parekh, Coronato, and our 1st all going the other way. No team is offering a package that looks like that and Parekh by himself is arguably more valuable than Smith.

We can argue all you want about Andersson's value, but he's going to bring in a Misa or Smith regardless of the add-ons.
His age and expecting a huge contract also affects his value. They'd want a guy more like Dobson.
