I wouldn’t
I've got a few defensemen who are really struggling offensively (and on questionable teams). Would you drop either of Sandin or Forsling for any of the following options? I'm probably sticking with Forsling while Montour and Ekblad are out, but Sandin has been a ghost even though he's getting ice time.

I like Walman but I have a hard time saying he'd definitely be an improvement over your current options. Maybe for Sandin? I mean he's still going to be behind Carlsson no matter how things go so there isn't a whole lot about that situation that's different than Walman's except Walman is actually putting up numbers despite that.

Could any of them be an improvement? Quite possibly. But I don't like them enough to prompt you to make a move. In short, there would not be a high enough probability of getting an upgrade.
