Rumor: Dhaliwal- Hearing that Jason Robertson has been made available for trade by the Stars

[LTIR]

Robertson for Stankoven

Crap, I came here to post just that

Robertson for Peterka ?

 

[Pinkfloyd]

If the Sharks took Dumba off the Stars' hands with Robertson, what would be the asking price? It's understandable if it'd be difficult because we don't have the RHD that they seem to be looking for.

 

[Crazy Cizikas]

Who is Dhaliwal ?? Never heard of him

What is Dhaliwal? Where is Dhaliwal? Why is Dhaliwal?

 

[UrbanImpact]

Is Marchment better suited for 3rd line or 2nd line role?

I love the way he plays, and I think the Canucks could use more prickly, grit type of players on the ice.

If shedding salary and getting a RD back in return is the main priority then id offer something like this


Hronek
Lekkerimaki
2nd round pick

for

Robertson
Marchment


Hronek is the top pairing Right Shot Dman that Stars are looking for. Very good Puck mover. Very good contract. 27 yrs old, 7more yrs at 7.25 AAV.

Lekkerimaki is the Canucks best forward prospect, young sniper and almost ready to be a full time NHLer


Baby Canucks and Baby Stars are battling each other right now in the AHL Conference Finals. Maybe it will entice the stars to take a look at players like Lekkerimaki, Mancini, Raty(injured) etc that they'd want as part of any trade with Vancouver.

 

[Captain97]

I may be in the minority on this but I think the Stars move him for mostly futures/picks. Maybe a 2nd pairing dman or middle 6 guy in the deal as well.

I don't want that but it wouldn't surprise me. Definitely don't think we will see a 1 for 1 type deal

They spent a lot on Rantanen, they'll want some of that back for future deadline deals imo

If that's the Case Montreal will likely be in on this.

 

[ClydeLee]

Has an NHL trade ever had brothers traded for each other? Obviously it would take more, but the Leafs should do it. Especially if Tavares is leaving. If no, idk

 

[MasterMatt25]

Maybe Ottawa for Tkachuk? If he becomes available.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Are you adding significantly?

Once you factor in the cap and the RFA years of Willander this is more fair than you make it out to be. But again I'm up for a counter offer.

 

[Golden_Jet]

He's only 25, so he'll still be an RFA next summer.

The Devils could use some more pop up front. How reasonable would a deal based around Robertson and Mercer be?

And what else besides Mercer

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

Maybe Ottawa for Tkachuk? If he becomes available.

Not sure why Ottawa would do this outside Tkachuk demanding a trade.

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

It's really not though...

It's one B tier defensive prospect for a perennial PPG winger. Like it or not, you add something significant.

 

[MasterMatt25]

Not sure why Ottawa would do this outside Tkachuk demanding a trade.

Thats the only way I see Tkachuk being available or if Ottawa has questions about him staying

 

[Americanadian]

Is it going to be Dobson for Robertson 1 for 1?

 

[Regal]

Also the Canucks.

Hey now, the Canucks don’t need anyone’s help imploding

 

[I am not exposed]

During his show: Donnie and Dhali, Dhaliwal dropped a juicy bomb saying he is hearing Jason Robertson's name out there as someone that has been made available via trade.


For those that dont know, Rick Dhaliwal is a media member based in Vancouver. He is highly connected especially with player agents and is known as one of if not the most reliable people with sources. He has broken the news of many signings and trades before it became reality.

Pat Brisson is Robertson's Agent...Brisson has been on Dhaliwal's show many many times.

The segment started with Dhaliwal encouraging the Canucks to trade for Mason Marchment but then drops the bomb that he is hearing Robertson is the one thats available for trade.


Robertson has 1 more year at 7.75mil AAV and then he will be getting paid next year into a possibly 10+ mil contract. He still has 1 yr left of RFA when this contract expires.


Perhaps Dallas doesnt want to commit the major major money on Robertson and they want to trade him now and get ahead of it.

They also only have around 4 mil of cap space with only 16 players under contract.

Thanks for stopping by Rick Dhaliwal.

 

[TrufleShufle]

I don't believe this for one second.

Mason Marchment yes, not Jason Robertson, not for 1 second

What about for 2 2nds and a 3rd?

 

[DatDude44]

Why are they giving up on Robertson now?

And why is Ryder, Halak and a 2nd the ask?

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Has an NHL trade ever had brothers traded for each other?

I believe the Ritchie brothers were, if memory serves.

 

[Mrfenn92]

I believe the Ritchie brothers were, if memory serves.

Correct on deadline day.

 

[impaaaaaact]

Dobson + feels like it actually makes sense for both teams

 

[ManofSteel55]

Not really, Dallas are trying to shed salary and Dobson is going to cost more then Robertson next season.

Are they really trying to shed salary? Why would a team who is in their contention window do that? I can see them trading a big contract if it means bringing in another big contract that fills a hole on the team, and Dobson makes a lot of sense in a lot of ways. Dallas' defense needs more help than just Dobson, but he would be a nice add to the mix. They're two RD away from having a much better blueline to bring forward next year, and upgrading on Petrovic via trade or free agency shouldn't be that hard. Dobson makes a ton of sense, and adding a veteran warhorse like David Savard or someone like that to mentor Bischel would give them a much improved blueline. I'm not sure about Lybushkin moving forward - are his injuries going to put him on LTIR? He's making a pretty big salary for what he is as a player, but I'd have him in the mix too if he's going to be healthy next year - probably would mean they wouldn't bring in a new partner for Bischel either.

Harley - Heiskanen
Lindell - Dobson
Bischel - Lybushkin or D. Savard/similar veteran

 

[impaaaaaact]

Is Dallas prepared to give Dobson 9.5 as opposed to the 11 or whatever Robertson will get?

 

[ManofSteel55]

Rasmus. Andersson.

I'm not sure if the Stars would want a guy one year from FA for Robertson, even if his next payday might be huge. Andersson would certainly make the Stars better though.

 

[BelovedIsles]

I think I would do Dobson + for Robertson. I like Robertson, don't love him (his footspeed keeps him from being truly elite), but he'd instantly upgrade the goalscoring.

 

[Kcb12345]

Is Dallas prepared to give Dobson 9.5 as opposed to the 11 or whatever Robertson will get?

Nope. Imo the Stars are looking for a 2nd pairing puck moving RHD in the 6-7m range

Anything higher is just gonna push Harley out at this point too
