I think they would be tempted to push the chips in on a RHS. They need to look around the league too.
Colorado - stayed much the same
Oilers - probably worse, older but still have top Offensive talent.
Blues - improved
Kings - Meh, likely worse
Vegas - improved offense worse defence.
Jets - worse
So if you look at your competition, do you need offense to compete or strengthen a D core to better compete.
I dont think it's any secret that to build a championship team you need 1 line to go head to head vs other teams top forwards and have a top shut down pairing.
Andersson at this point in his career is exactly what the stars need to push for a cup in the next 3-4 years.

And Johnston is also exactly what they need to compete for the next decade.
Why would they trade him for a less valuable player to create an even bigger hole.
