I've heard no one said he actually is on the table in any way, shape or form.

Yes and it makes sense and is a fun thought exercise.
The Flames are not going to walk away from the other trade offers that include young Cs with potential to get a winger. Look at the replies to Diss' suggestion: "The Flames wouldn't do it so no one would" or "Andersson is spare parts and has no value". Garbage.
Think about some facts:
1) Andersson is a great D and the Flames are in a unique position with his contract and a sellers market where there are almost no alternatives
2) In a bidding war, the Flames are not going to settle for whatever the Stars have to offer. Conroy hangs up on offers for Andersson that do not meet his price (young C with #1C potential)
So now the question becomes, how does the Stars stay in this conversation? They are super "Win-Now" and Conroy is hanging up on Nill if the offer is Robertson. Sillinger and 14OA looks better to the Flames than a Robertson deal.
How badly does Dallas want to upgrade on Dumba as their #1RD??
Also, Bourque's recent contract makes a bit more sense if Johnston is available to trade. The only way Bourque is going to get more ice time and a bigger contract with the Stars is if they move a C out.
