I don't particularly want a winger. So for that reason, I'm not keen. Plus I want more assets for Andersson, not less.
Teams trade star wingers for lots of reasons. The Avs traded theirs. Calgary traded theirs. Probabkly for the same reason Dallas did - to get ahead of the contract expiry. Robertson's ends next off season. He's making $7.7 now and I bet he wants 2-3M more.

The difference is Rantanen is a proven winner and was traded because they didn't think they could afford him. It also looks like Colorado made a huge mistake doing that.
I can't compare it to Robertson though. He hasn't done anything for Dallas in the playoffs. It reminds me of when Florida was fine trading their star player because he doesn't have another level come playoff time.
