Johnston was second on that team in ice time behind only Rantanen in the playoffs and played more than Hintz even. They aren't improving by getting rid of him.
I think you could offer Andersson, Coronato, and 4 1sts and the Stars still might not take it.
Sure players like Eichel, Zegras, etc have been moved. But that's generally because of injury, contract, or an issue with the organization.
None of those things apply to Johnston.
