Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: Na te tupono i kitea ai e Andersson a Pavel Datsyuk tuatahi, kātahi ko Henrik Zetterberg. I te tau 1997 ka haere ia ki Moscow ki te tirotiro i a Dmitri Kalinin, ka kite i a Datsyuk e purei ana mo te roopu ke, ka whakatau ia me kite ia i etahi atu o Datsyuk. I haere ia i te wā tuarua, ā, ka hoki mai anō ia, engari i whakakorea te rerenga i haere ai ia me tētahi kaitirotiro o te St. Louis Blues nā te tupuhi. Ko te Wings i tuhi a Datsyuk i te 171 o te katoa i te 1998 NHL Entry Draft a e whakapono ana a Andersson ko ia anake te kaitirotiro NHL i kite i a Datsyuk e purei ana i mua o te kaupapa. I te tau i muri mai ka haere a Andersson me Jim Nill ki tetahi whakataetae i Finland ki te tirotiro i a Mattias Weinhandl. Heoi anō, i whakararuraru a Nill e "tēnei tangata iti o Zetterberg i te āhua nei kei a ia tonu te pōro". I haere atu a Andersson rāua ko Nill me te whakaaro nui mō Zetterberg, nā rātau i whiriwhiria hei 210 o te katoa i roto i te
1999 draft, ā, kua pakeke ake ia hei whetū nui i te NHL. He nui te hua o a rātau whakatau ki te haere ki a Zetterberg rāua ko Datsyuk. Ko nga whetu whetu e rua i whakaingoatia hei whiringa toa mo te Frank J. Selke Trophy i te tau 2008, me te wikitoria a Datsyuk i te tohu, i te wa i whakaturia ai e Zetterberg tetahi rekoata hou mo te nuinga o nga tohu i muri i te waa (27) ka wikitoria i te Conn Smythe Trophy hei MVP o te 2008 playoffs. I te tau 2009 i whakaingoatia a Datsyuk hei whiringa toa mo te Lady Byng Memorial Trophy, i te mea kua wikitoria ia i te tohu e toru nga wa e whai ake nei, a i whakaingoatia ano ia hei whiringa toa mo te Selke, i whakawhiwhia e ia i te mutunga. He whiringa toa ano ia mo te Hart Memorial Trophy me te Tohu Lester B. Pearson.
