Thread: spots that fit Robertson like a glove
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>homiedaclown</b></div><div>That’s a VERY EASY “no” from Buffalo
Just not interested in Robertson at all
We have so many more talented forward prospects that he’d be buried in the AHL &amp; never get a chance
Plus, we like Jokiharju

Just isn’t gonna happen</div></div>

wasnt 100% sure about buffalo. u guys got some young forwards but imo Robertson is currently better then a lot of ur kids edge nhl/ahl so a year or 2 of 20+ goals and then being able to move him i thought was plenty well of a fit. u guys have tons of money in ur Dcore(or at least will after a few others get there money) and just feel like hes the odd one out. not 100% sure were i would value jokiharji, right shot thats a solid Defender but hes 25 and seems to be reaching his peak. wouldnt put him on the top2 pair of any contending/close to team and needs a contract.

Thread: spots that fit Robertson like a glove
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SwarmChair</b></div><div>Robertson is worth a 5th at his absolute most. Only IF a team wants to take a flyer on him. He’s requested a trade. It’s also obvious he’s not a fit in Toronto, so he will be eventually given up on so a team can acquire him for free.

Think about the Value of a guy like Yamamoto, who’s probably better than Robertson. That’s the value of Robertson.</div></div>

i mean i just disagree, a guy who scored 15 goals with 0 powerplay time a team that clearly didnt really want him and didnt play for 25% of the season id say is far far more valueable then yamamoto who older and significantly worse offensively. plenty of teams could use a young speedy 15-20 goals player in there bottom 6 for dirtcheap money. hes worth imo a late 2nd or early 3rd but i could see the value dropping to a 3rd/4th to a non div rival bc the trade request. his only thing against him is hes a light small forward. wouldnt be hard for him to gain 5-10 pounds and he will be a speedy 3rd liner who scores 20 as his floor.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawksguy81</b></div><div>Regardless of Robertson's perceived "upside" the Hawks likely aren't looking to add more undersized forwards to their top 6, especially longer term. Hardly a perfect fit to play w/ Bedard. Hawks also wouldn't burn one of their two retention slots to acquire Robertson either. Hawks pass.</div></div>

it would be for 1 year, ur likely to move him at the TDL retained. not many people will call at the TDL if ur not. him, hall and martinez are the only guys who will gain value with ret% and will need to, to move them. hes "undersized" but it any weight gain he will be fight. the idea that someone of his size cant play because hes a few inches shorter then the avg NHL player when there are multiple "undersized" superstars and great players is such a dumb way to lessen a player or there value. having Bedard who is a great space creator, and while being known for his flashy goals hes a great playmaker and will only improve. him + a young sniper only needs a 2 way playmaker to make that an elite line in 3 years.

Thread: what if
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JarvisforSelke</b></div><div>That's a fair point about the rebuild... I just don't think the Hurricanes are gonna want to give up two top-6 pieces... I think that they would be more comfortable giving up a top-6 piece + defensemen (With one exception) + boatload of picks to make sure that we aren't drained too much at one position</div></div>

only 2 Dman that would have any value to us would be slavin who wouldnt be worth as much to us as u bc we have nurse long term, broberg and Ekholm on the left. morrow is the only guy that we would give a ton of value to, walker is good but dont see being a huge main guy in the trade, would have to be necas + 2 1sts + durry as the base that gets us on the phone. drai wouldnt really go anywhere without an extension and that ads value to an already massive haul that it would require. i dont see many teams having the assets to get him and its more likely that we pay the assets to dump nurse (esp if he has a bounce back year) and pay drai whatever he wants considering hyman RNH (and expecting) Broberg and holloway to be much cheaper then there market rate. kane shouldnt be hard to move + cap increase skinner is cheap next year and a few depth guys that are super cheap + a few young guys coming up i doubt we dont just keep him unless a team really really wants to pay for him

Thread: Taking on another contract
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LuckyMoneyPuck</b></div><div>you will be hard pressed to even find anyone to take Kane.
If you do manage to find someone and they say their is a price.... you should take it.</div></div>

he will easily fill 3wing mins for us and with any injurys he can fill top6. he has 2 years left and is a 40-50 point power forward. were not paying someone to take him. there will be a team that calls about getting him and if not its fine. we are going to dump Ceci with a 4th or something and be under the cap so it doesnt really matter. the idea that a 5m winger who is only slightly overpaid and plays the exact type of hockey u want for the playoffs and if not for an injury in the playoffs would have a decent value, that we would have to pay anything to move him is laughable
