This is Rasmus for magic beans, and Whitecloud, who either you flip for a mid round pick or ends up leaving as a free agent in a couple summers.
Yes, it's possible the picks turn into something. But would have much rather had one first or second and a prospect who already looked like he could fill Rasmus' shoes or another impact role a little earlier in the future than these picks MIGHT do.
If this was the best offer right now, should have continued to wait. What was the urgency to move him in January for this return?

Wasn't Andersson always going to be traded for magic beans?
If a prospect becomes can't miss you don't trade him.
So you trade futures for an expiring contract.
Not sure how this trade is any different than most that are done with players headed to UFA status.
Even a signed Andersson was going to go for a contract (Lohrei) and magic beans (Bruins pick, prospect in Poitras).
Why is the Vegas pick, another 2nd pick, a contract player, and a C prospect any more magic beans than other deals?
