That's why I'm not interested in any package deals for Werenski. We need a premier young asset, perhaps the #2OA pick. Secondary pieces add up to nothing for us.
Well there wasn't a Gaudreau equivalent signing in Columbus in 2022 either. I was the only one here who thought we had a >1% chance of signing him.
It's not a great situation but Carolina just won without any superstar players, they don't even have a Werenski. You have to take whatever path you can to improve.
Would you rather trade 4 1st round picks for Robertson or acquire him by trading some combination of roster players/picks/prospects?
Well I would hope we are doing due diligence in seeing if he would like to come here.

Players, picks and prospects. 4 1st removes your greatest future capital.
I think they would
Player trade means likely Marchenko. So I would rather move 4 1sts for Robertson.
I have no problem giving up Marchenko for Robo. I think Dallas would be looking for mainly now pieces. Not futures.
I agree that any trade needs to revolve around very high picks and/or high end prospects ready for a spot but yet to prove themselves. Once a 21 year old proves he is very good, they will be very expensive to get and you won't get enough new assets to change very much.
Would Dallas match a $15.5x8 offer or take the picks? I know their cap situation is kinda tight, but I know they've offered him $14m.
I would also rather give 4 1sts than give up Marchenko. A first line of Robertson-Fantilli-Marchenko would be an absolute force.

Agree, because even though it’s an upgrade, we sorta end up with the same problem - we still need a top 6 wing.
Columbus may be forced to pay stupid money to lure a star and hope that subsequent success allows more high end players to be interested. It is a little like Deshaun Watson to Cleveland. Cleveland had nothing to sell the player to get him there other than agreeing to pay him a super high guaranteed contract. Now that was a disaster. But the Browns understood what they needed to do to get him.
Dallas likely trades him before it gets to RFA and offer sheets. They don't want futures. But that is what would be best for us, an offer sheet.
Marchenko is too good. I would probably trade him for Robertson but that feels almost lateral. We're giving up a great playdriver who likely increases his scoring.
Dallas doesn't match that. I don't know if anyone offers it though. I would have done $14m.
There's not much saying that Dallas offered $14m, just a guess by Pagnotta, who is hit or miss (usually miss). Unless there's a report I'm not seeing...

Ran outta gas, what more can you say.
Still think if KJ and Monahan come back to form we're gonna be fine.

I like how Nashville is making all these deals with Colorado because McFarland came from there, yet jarmo got to Buffalo and was like “nah I’m good” with our players lol
(This is a joke by the way)
The problem is I would be so nervous for Don to make a move out of desperation - Its better not to at that point.

TBH, at this point, I think the organization could use some desperation.
I know Benson was in the Fantilli draft, but man I wanted to trade up for him so bad that year. Even a couple of my non hockey fan friends know who he is now because I wouldn't shut up about him.
