Quoting: oilfire
What did Chychrun get? Anderssons better, healthier, shoots right, has a better contract for 2 more seasons and is a bit of a psychpath to boot.
I can see why you'd say that but he was in his 7th year and just turned 24
I see Goal Scoring Dmen as more valuable then Playmakers even if on similar levels
I mean Petry was better then Weber on Paper most years but Weber was #1 material as he did it vs top guys
Petry did it sheltered on 2nd pair vs lesser match ups as Anderson has.
Chychrun has his downsides for sure but his upside is like a Weegar he can do it at the top levels vs top talent.
That said #3 D or 2nd Pair Veteran Leaders still have value for sure just look at Ryan Mcdounugh's role at Andersons age
He became one of the best #3 2nd paid D leaders in the NHL winning 2 cups and i believe going to 4 finals
So there's value there but not on Chychruns level in my books
But you may be right about the value being higher then the above trade
I just dont see a team interested in Anderson who as or will have a pick that high after he joins them
Instead i see more later picks like TML, EDM, CAR,maybe even NSH being interested
The picks you want belong to teams with RD they covet who fall within their builds timeline unlike 28 years old R.Anderson
The only team i see with picks you want that could bite is DET if you take back a contract like Chiarot's 4.75m x 2 years
Then sure i'd see a team giving up a top 15 pick for R.Anderson but short of that its too big of an ask given all the RD in the Drafts in the 1st round these past years.
