- Retention is less valuable because of contract length
- His play has been dog #### (playing 'well' -disagree- on the worst team in the league is basically meaningless)
- There are other RD on the market now where there were less before
I would make a strong bet with Jiri or TOFan that we will not get a 1st for Rasmus.

I'm 100% fine with fans thinking they should have traded Andersson earlier. None of us know the market now vs then, or what they turned down etc, but it's still a view a fan could have.
I take huge issue with the fact that Conroy wouldn't have had the same formula in his brain as every fan though. "when can we maximize his return? what is our price for this player? should we take this offer or hold for the price we have set".
It's not some Machiavellian plot to diminish returns or hurt the feeling of FLames fans.
And stats don't support your Andersson is playing like dog #### theory, and it's ironic because he's likely creating more non perimeter offence than any other player on the team right now and is still being hammered because he's a trade asset that hasn't been traded in front of an impatient fan.
