If you are willing to blow the trade that badly then send him to literally any other team so that you are not wasting a retention slot AND taking back a cap dump contract for no benefit.
The only reason to send Andersson to the Stars is because they are willing to pay more than the other teams in order to win now.

Based on what? Go find an equivelant trade, and use it as an example. You won't find one that returns what you're proposing in the last 3 years (I went back and looked at the trade deadlines, so maybe I've missed one pre-season, but I can't off the top of my head think of one). Noah Hanifin is legitimately the closest comparable, and it returned Miromanov, 1st, conditional 3rd (don't believe the pick transferred) with 50% retention. Comparables are what set the market in the NHL - so go find one that shows a selling team extracting that much more value, and we can discuss it as a comparable. Saying he should be worth whatever, without actually bringing up the comparable is nothing more than whatever you've made up in your head.
Retention isn't worth what it used to be (especially at only $2.275M at max).
Dumba, I don't believe is a cap dump strictly speaking. It's an opportuntity to revitalize an asset like Conroy tried with Kuzy.
