Proposal: CGY and DAL

[WhiskeyMax]

Robertson, Bourque, Dumba for Andersson (50% retained), Coleman (50% retained) and FLA 1st 2025.

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Why would Dallas do that?

 

[MakeCgyGreatAgain]

We don't need another Chucky situation. Robertson is not likely to sign in Calgary and we don’t need another 10M winger anyway.

 

[lanceuppercut75]

If Andersson is extending in Dallas, then MAYBE. Otherwise, doesn't make sense for Dallas. Need a better longer term asset than the 32nd overall pick.

 

[Corrupt University]

I couldn't personally sign off on trading Robertson for this, but damned does OP know how to sell water in the desert.

If only Andersson had 2-3 years left on the deal. Ultimately Stars probably need RHD on term with decent cap hit + upside and a better first or another pick or two.

 

[Yepthatsme]

Think I suggested Andersson at 50% with an extension in place and Calgary’s 2026 1st with some protection for Robertson with an extension. If Dallas is throwing in Bourque, you could look at adding a name like Farabee or Frost, unless Dallas really wants a Coleman or a Backlund retained.

This is a trade that might work in chel franchise mode but has no basis in reality

Flames 2026 pick is untouchable.

The Flames are better off just getting prospects or picks for Andersson. At least then they’ll be with the team for a few years.

I also don’t see any way the Flames spend big on another winger. They need centres.

Dallas needs to save cap, so throwing in the cap dump Farabee makes no sense.

Since the only reason to trade Robertson is to save cap, they would want cheaper players with term.

Anderson either a extension is the opposite of what they need.

This is horrible

 

[MrHeiskanen]

This is a troll post or serious?

 

[Flames Fanatic]

I'm still hoping that there's some sense where Andersson or Coleman at 50% brings some value to Dallas, especially if we take Dumba back. But it doesn't make sense to move Robertson for that package.

The trade isn't good value for Dallas, but it's also a poor fit for the Flames. The last thing they need is another high-priced winger. Especially one who is going to be a RFA shortly and could just pull another Tkachuk to get out of Calgary.

The Flames should just keep doing what they're doing - stocking up on picks and prospects and slowly integrating them into the NHL lineup. That way you get a team culture going and develop guys who are more likely to want to stick around.

Flames 2026 pick is untouchable.

For Robertson? It absolutely would not be. Guy is 25 and above point per game player over his last 4 seasons, with a 100 point season splashed in there. Outside of the top 3 picks that is a massive home run, and he is age appropriate for what Calgary is building. I’d be happy with just top 3/5 protection on that pick for that trade. Calgary just finished 14th in the league with 96 points without Robertson as well, this pipe dream that pick is our savior isn’t realistic. It’s worst case scenario is likely in that 10-12ish range.

Dallas needs to save cap, so throwing in the cap dump Farabee makes no sense.

Andersson hits on both accounts for what they need. An age appropriate RD that’s played 24 minutes a night the last 3-4 seasons, who will cost 2.275M next year. Dallas wants to shed some cap so they can go big fish hunting to improve the roster next year, while recouping some of the lost picks from the Rantanen trade reportedly. This accomplishes all 3 of those aspects

Farabee I think also immediately becomes a bargain once he steps on the ice for Dallas. If there is any team that gets him back to where he was projecting to be a 25-30 goal guy it’s Dallas, and he can immediately step in to where Robertson was in the lineup. But Calgary can definitely provide cheaper options or just futures in a trade instead.

Calgary needs scoring. Full stop. No prospect in Calgary’s system, including ones they’ll draft this year, has reasonable potential to score as much as Robertson does. Stockpiling young guys who won’t be as good as a young guy you can acquire with said stockpile doesn’t make sense.

Agreed based on value premise, but if it's not for specific need, the Flames and Vegas 2026 1st should be considered untouchable for a winger. For a C or D that aren't typically available and are key needs for Calgary, then I think it's OK. But I prefer not moving those prime assets for a winger (a luxury) until our needs (long term C and D) are met. Even if that winger is as good as Robertson.
