All three would bring experience and would be a boost for the playoffs, and Detroit appears to have the assets to make something like that happen if they choose to be aggressive.

That said, I’m curious how far they’d be willing to go in terms of futures. Would Detroit consider moving a prospect like Marco Kasper or Nate Danielson to acquire one or more players that could meaningfully push them into a playoff run.
Detroit should have pushed hard for Andersson in the 2024 offseason and should be interested now.

The main issue now is Yzerman won't want to trade for a rental.

I really hope as it gets closer to the deadline that Andersson maybe becomes more opening to talking extension with some teams.
