They are likely the front runners because they know they won't be able to re-sign him.

The Stars disagree with this assessment on the D side. They openly said RD is a weakness they need to address. But you are correct that it poses the problem that they cannot keep everyone.
I expect that if they go after him it is because then intend to extend him and solidify their D core for the next 4+ years.
No way Conroy settles for a late 1st for Andersson with retention. There are other teams who will beat that offer quickly and likely have a significantly better 1st to offer.
