Wait....anderson is not even a bottom player in the NHL and has not proven himself.... but he is better than someone who is an NHL player cause he has high upside? Where was that upside when he was in the NHL?
Armia's ceiling looks pretty set. If you traded every promising prospect for a depth forward, you'd have a pretty bad team with no future pretty quickly. Anderson looks like he has all the right tools for the NHL. His floor looks to be #4/5 d-man. His ceiling could be much higher.
Quite honestly, anyone who trades more than a 2nd rounder for Armia, had better be on the verge of winning a cup or is making a bad decision. Adding another depth forward to the deal is also pretty bad asset management. In today's NHL the cost controlled middle defencemen are they to building a good team. Trading players like that will get you nowhere.
Basically, the way I see this deal is two 2nds for a mid to late 1st. That's not the move most teams should be making if they want long term success.
