Robo for Stützle

We need to bolster our hockey team, not the Olympic diving team

He's better than Hintz though, so it would be an upgrade at center, he's just a dual sport athlete

I just can't stand that little f***er because of how much he dives and embellishes every single shift he plays. Don't want to watch that shit every game

we have Marchment though? He does the same thing, we're already used to it

Going from a lower level diver to a top tier one might be a difficult transition though. Think of the children

f*** children. Not literally.

 

[Zapp]

How about Batherson and our first. You get one tier less quality winger but a lot of cap flexibility to find a RHD
Brady is untouchable for obvious reasons.

No thanks, that’s just downgrading at wing with an older player and getting a weak 1st round pick.

Ottawa has nothing to offer Dallas other than Tkachuk who would still be a downgrade in point production but brings other good tools to make up for it.

I don’t see the Stars and Sens as good trade partners. Sens don’t have the assets to acquire a piece like Robertson without giving up something they wouldn’t want to part with.

40 goal scorer who is about to enter his prime isn’t cheap

Am I the only one who thinks we trade Robertson for quantity over quality?

I don't think we see a 1 for 1 or 1 for 2 type of deal. I think he gets traded for 4 or 5 pieces. Maybe a 2nd pairing dman or middle 6 guy is thrown in there as well.

I don't like the idea of that but it wouldn't surprise me with how many picks we've traded away.

I just know though that whatever teams miss out on Marner will be no doubt very interested in Robertson. Very different wingers though. Anyone who needs goal scoring (so almost everyone) should be interested

not us though. We need goalscoring and don't want it. But you're probably right.

But it doesn't fit the narrative of trying to win a cup to take a bunch of low quality pieces/futures. That's a big step back, though our window is closed until Seguin/Benn is off the books at this point.

You don't trade a dollar for 4 quarters, this would be a horrid approach much like Avs did for Rantanen

Yeah, this is already sounding like a terrible idea.

[Satan]

Holy shit its going to be a fun summer

 

[starsfan86]

Maybe that Duchene comment was true regarding the Hintz/Nurse debacle.

 

[catters078]

Could you get pick 10 from the Ducks?

I don't want to trade Robertson. Would leave Dallas with only 3 skilled scorers in Hintz, Rantanen and Johnston...but if it's really going to happen, what is the best piece we could get?

 

[Henderson33]

We made it to the WCF without a Robertson goal, I think we'll be alright, most were willing to give him away for nothing before game 4 against Edmonton anyway.

If you didn't see this coming after Rantanen signed on the dotted line you need to open your eyes. You can't pay all those forwards.

REVOLT BOYS. DEMAND HIS HEAD

One NHL goalie coach with whom D Magazine texted wasn’t overly surprised to see DeBoer find his way into another spat with his starting netminder. “If Oettinger stays in that game, honestly, I think they win Game 5,” the coach said. “But it’s nothing new. [DeBoer] is tough on goalies, and it’s just a matter of when it comes out.”

But in another stunning development, DeBoer also admitted he hadn’t “gotten a chance” to speak to Oettinger before he addressed the media on Saturday. That sent additional shockwaves through the close-knit goalie community. The prevailing thought: pull your No. 1 if you must, but don’t leave him hanging without contact before speaking with reporters a second time after the move.

And it’s not that Oettinger is difficult to get a hold of. In fact, I texted him over the weekend, and he responded. If he’s taking time to answer texts from me, he certainly would have the time to talk to his head coach.

“If Oettinger stays in that game, honestly, I think they win Game 5,” the coach said.

This goalie coach is high. The Stars needed 60 minutes to score three. There was no way they were keeping the Oilers from scoring another goal or three the rest of the game.

 

[starsfan86]

Yeah… bye bye Petey

 

[Henderson33]

Neil Graham going to win the Calder Cup and Stanley Cup in back to back years.

Love that for him.

 

[Elysian]

I read some of that article and just came away feeling like Sean was sensationalizing it. Very different from the Robert Tiffin article on the same subject.

“If Oettinger stays in that game, honestly, I think they win Game 5,” the coach said.

My thought exactly.

What Neil Graham has done down there is super impressive and I don’t see why they wouldn’t go down that route, especially when you look at Edmonton. That’s exactly what they did. Hired within.
