Or just trade for Gost and Anderson without giving away all your future.
The problem is those guys slot in as our 3rd pairing LHD and 4th line RW respectively.
The devils don't need to trade for a defensemen at all.
Josh Anderson is not good, I'd rather play Bratt, Mercer, Yegor, Fabian, Tatar, Palat over him as wingers. I don't think he brings much more than Bastian who's cheaper. I'd rather let Holtz get minutes.
5.5 million on a 4th line player will prevent us from resigning at least one of Graves, Severson, or Tatar, all of whom are better than Anderson.
LET ALONE GIVING UP A 1ST PLUS, which is apparently the ask.
