Proposal: Krebs for Robertson
- Thread starter Big Wood
- Start date
That’s a matter of opinion that I am not sure that most would agree with
Nor do I care at this point whoever is better. Sabres not going to trade for small fast third liner potentially second liner. They have a surplus of similar players including Krebs if he was to be moved to winger
Toronto and Sabres not good trading partners.
Sabres do not need unestablished small wingers (why we traded Savoie).
Toronto may have a surplus of wingers and have a need for centers, I don’t know. Good luck

I'm not ignoring it... i'm simply trying to illustrate that most fans would look at those 3 guys, and say "they're pretty important offensive players" (2-way play aside)... and Robertson produced basically what they did at 5on5, in a couple of cases in way fewer games.

Nah. I'd rather sit him and change the narrative the players run things and lose out than get that

If Treliving was offered a second rounder for Robertson the guy would be traded already. Every club has a Robertson. These guys have little value.

Maybe they do but those guys are top 3 prospects for their club which have value. Robertson missed a lot of development time, he is not a finished product

Robertson is small and unless he’s got the puck on his stick he is not helping his team. What % of his tome on ice do you think he has the puck? Even if it’s 10% , which is crazy high, that’s 90% of the time he’s not contributing. If he was a pesky guy, who could play that role in the bottom six while staying healthy doing so, then he would have a spot. He’s just not an effective NHLer, and will never be. All my opinion, of course.

I think Robertson is a particular case, and I don't know if that's the best way to manage him as an asset.
It's quite clear now that he is done with being in Toronto for whatever reason, and I'm ok with that. For myself, though, I'd much rather get a player in need of scenery change than a 2nd or 3rd in the next two drafts if that the type of return that's out there now.

Perhaps, but likely not meaningfully so.
As I said above, getting a prospect nearer to the NHL or a player in a similar position would be preferred.
