I'm a die hard Oilers fan, and i'll even go out of my way to say Andersson is very good. Much better than Hronek.

I'd say we are overpaying a tad here but that would be expected with trading a high end asset to a divisional rival, I'd agree Andersson would be in the Hronek/chychrun tier for what a return would be.

How's the overall value then? Hronek went for a 1st and 2nd. Is a 1st, good prospect (previous top 15 pick) and a young roster player a respectable offer?

Ya I'm not not sure I would even make the deal if I were Vancouver, not sure it makes sense for the Canucks to give up multiple young assets as they will need the ECL's in short order. I mostly just made it to gage value as I have seen some Andersson mock trades of late.

Andersson is more valuable. Hronek has been great, but Andersson is better, and has more term at a great team friendly cap hit

This package is probably around what his value is, maybe a slight overpay but you’d need to overpay to get Andersson

I think I'd think about it depending where we are at the TDL I think ideally here I'd replace Hoglander with Klimovich and a late pick, losing Lekkerimäki would hurt but having Podkolzin in the system still softens the blow imho adding Andersson would solve a huge hole on the team, if we were able to move Myers in a separate trade I'd probably do this move at that point you could have Hronek, Andersson and potentially Ethan Bear as your right side for the year, and long term you can substitute Bear for Willander, i think this team would genuinely be able to have a deepish run with team being able to add a guy like Andersson

Andersson is the better player IMO but given that Hronek is younger and cost controlled for probably longer, its maybe a little closer. If you're asking who'd cost more to acquire, Hronek last year's cost vs Andersson's now, I think its pretty safe to say Andersson now.

I think Hronek's success this year is a product of Hughes. Andersson is capable of succeeding by himself in first pair minutes, more so than Hronek at least.
I would say a 1st and a top rated prospect should do it.

I can’t see Calgary trading him to a rival.

Andersson is definitely better than Hronek but this is still an overpay. It's an extra 1st as compared to what Hronek got. Not to mention Lekkerimaki was fairly high first and is doing well.

24' 1st
25' 2nd
Podkolzin
Garland

???

I don't know how much more than that you could give up

Hronek's data is tracking better than Andersson's => Hroneks previous 2 yrs when he was 23 and 24 yrs old playing in Detroit put up 18+ more points a year than Anderrson's at that age. Not sure we would have the cap space to take on Andersson's contract after all is said and done and the fact is they wouldn't do it, right. So instead lets talk McDavid
