That rumour was pretty old. The market has changed as has his performance.
Andersson's current contract put him at 5.6-4.8% of the cap from start to end. It was a very cheap contract for a guy who ended up establishing himself as a top pair D.
With the cap going up to $104M and then $113.5M, this $7.5M number would put him at 7.2% and then 6.6% of the cap. That is getting back into very cheap and undervalued territory, like second pair numbers.
$9.5M would put him at 9.1% and then 8.4%. That is reasonable top pair percentages and also what Dobson just signed as an RFA. I doubt Andersson values himself less than Dobson just because the other guy is a few years younger. Especially while they are having identical seasons points wise (Andersson has more goals).
