I do wonder if Andersson moved triggers Coleman to also explore the idea, hometown boy who Dallas has had interest in for a few deadlines now. With that said Coleman is another guy who’s very committed to CGY but I could see him potentially going home in a scenario like this.

I'd imagine Andersson 50% retained + Coleman 50% retained + a 1st round pick could potentially land Robertson. You guys are undervaluing what Robertson would go for if they trade him.
Like others have said though, This is the type of player you want to acquire about 3 years from now when you hopefully have an established core that's starting to contend. If we pay the high price to acquire plus sign him to a massive deal and his prime years are before we've got a solid playoff/contending team together then what are we doing?
