they have a #1 C already. Rope Hintz allows them to be competitive for the next decade.
They are missing strength down the right side of their D.
it's HIGHLY unlikely to happen but teams need to give to get. That's what's being missed in the people saying so and so will not be traded for any reason.
As a GM you have a short window to put it all together. Dallas is in that window, Don't worry about 7 years from now, they need to win while they have Ottenger at his best. Strengthening D and keeping Hintz and a top line together would be their best bet.
Johnson is a luxury for the Stars, they still have other pieces that could fill the hole with him leaving. Also if he came to Calgary that makes a player like Zary expendable so maybe he is part of the package and becomes their 3rd line C.
