Rantanen pretty much takes Robertson's spot. Robertson's cap hit goes to Andersson and then they can add. A fully retained Andersson 1 for 1 for Robertson gives the stars the flexibility to add . Something they cannot do if they just acquire Andersson . Plus they need the depth so IMO the Bischels and Bourques likely are pieces on the cheap the stars would want to keep. By my estimate, 1 for 1 would give the stars over 5m in cap space to add a secondary scoring option they otherwise would not be able to add if they did an alternative for Andersson.
Out is Robertson's 7.750m contract
In is Anderssons 2. 275m fully retained contract
That's leaves the stars 7.470 ish cap space to find alternative scoring depth.
It just makes sense. Because there's no way they can move forward the following season with much room. There's still 2 more seasons left on Seguin.
