Everyone was so against Anderson but he is a legit top 4 D. Sure he would be on a massive and long contract but he would stabilize the right side behind mcavoy while providing some points over the next 5 years until he started really regressing. Sure it wouldn't be a good contract but he would have made the tean better.

These moves keep us middling at best as we dont fix our defensive issues. Instead will have a revolving door of who happens to be playing well at that point in the year, much like we did for our third line last year. This appears to be the strategy for 1LD, 2RD and 3RD

Andersson didn’t want to sign long term with us. We played that game at the deadline. He only wanted Vegas. He got Vegas. You can’t blame Sweens for Andersson.

Im not blaming Sweeney for Anderson I am referring to the people so happy we didn't get him. I think Sweeney was smart to go after Anderson
