Well the other day there were people suggesting we should sign Andersson long term and not trade him. Considering the kind of return we would get in a trade, and the fact that he helps the team win games right now, means that keeping him beyond this trade deadline would hurt the rebuild in two ways.
If people don't want a vet like Andersson traded, to me it signals that they are still clinging to the win-now mentality. Do they also want to keep Kadri? Coleman? Two guys who could really put a cup contender over the top, and would fetch us very nice returns.
As for fan reactions not affecting outcomes, that's kind of the point. Let people enjoy the rebuild years in any way they see fit. If cheering for losses is what some want to do, good for them.
