At the very least, Conroy should put value on the ability for the acquiring team to trade Andersson's rights in June to a team that wants to extend him before July 1.
I still think that one of the Red Wings or Mammoth will blink first as they continue to sit just outside of the playoffs.

And you'd absolutely have subjective hate for the player to not see a guy making an impact pretty much every night.
Coming off the broken foot season he's added value.
