You don't just trade a great center. It is a premium position.

RD is also a premium position. The league has a shortage of RHS defenders (and a surplus of LHS).
The whole point of the conversation is that both Vegas and Dallas (and 5 other teams) have glaring holes at the top of their RD depth chart.
Dallas is particularly pigeon-holed because they have no cap space and cannot add a $9.5M Dobson (also, Montreal won't give Dobson up).
So now it comes down to value. What do you think the value of these assets are?
Johnston = ????
Andersson = With retention, 1st++. With extension 2 1sts+
Coronato = 2 1sts+
1st round pick = Flames pick could be top 5 (worth more than Johnston)
1st round pick = Vegas pick could be bottom 8
So, depending on how this shakes out, you think Johnston is worth between 5 and 10 1st round picks. That would make him the most valuable player in league history.
You are either severely overvaluing Johnston or undervaluing all of the Flames assets. More likely, you are not valuing any of the assets at all and are exaggerating your post for dramatic effect.
