Again, Andersson has to stop getting valued as a top pair dman. His point totals have dropped year over year and his defensive play is far from shut down.

When you start with a few fundamentals (Flames players have limited to no value, Robertson is somehow worth more than Rantanen) you will understand how incredibly valuable Robertson is. I think you actually get it. 80 point wingers don’t grow on trees. This 80 point winger once had 100 points and is currently 2 years younger is somehow worth more than a player who either got 100 points or scored at a 100 point pace for the 5 seasons before he was traded but was 2 years older at the time of the trade.
The guy who had 5 straight 100 point pace campaigns was traded for a winger, a 25 year old center with a career high of 27 points in a season and a 2nd and a 4th. An offer of Rasmus, a two time Stanley Cup champion elite defensive winger who has put up 30 goals cannot compete with that offer for an inferior player. We just have to accept the facts.
