Have to believe at least one other team would have traded their first round pick for Andersson. A 1st + 3rd for Andersson from another team would have likely been better than a 1st + 2nd from Vegas that worsens the 2026 1st they likely have from Vegas. They are pretty much hedging their bet with Vegas:
If Vegas goes on a great run and wins the cup, they’ll hope they will crash in 2027 and 2028. If Vegas struggles this year, they’ll hope they are really bad in 2027.
