Some of the arguments around here can get pretty ridiculous.

It's not the physical move - just the hubbub of finding a place, finding schools, arranging relocation. It's more about leaving the spouse on her own to deal with that. It is a huge change especially for a first move. Hockey teams don't seem to help as much as other sports. It's why players traded for each other often end up swapping residences for a while.
Andersson's kids are little so school is probably not an issue.
Anyway I'm not saying it's a dealbreaker or anything. I think teams just consider these little things when dealing with timing.
