Quoting: athrin
rasmus is worth a pick 15-32 not top 15, hes is not a top end D in the league in the likes of Makar, Hughes, Fox or Dobson
Makar would have cost Chicago their first last year to acquire (Bedard), Hughes, Dobson, and Fox would cost a 1OA this year to get. If you had picks 8,9,10,11, and 12 put together, you could not acquire those guys.
This year, a top 7 pick is like a top 4 pick in most other years, so they're not going anywhere... but if a team believes it's in its competitive window, it will acquire a guy like Andersson if it has like a 9OVR... if it needs a guy like Andersson.
Most relevant trade is Islanders trading for Romanov which cost them 13OVR. Andersson's status is higher than Romanov's right now, on top of his being extremely affordable and with term left.
