Robertson is pretty solid defensively but he is smaller . I think Toronto would be adding in any case ( if either are actually made available) .
or he does

thats a pretty big pay decrease from even league min isnt it?
I dunno feels like a bad career choice, I just cant imagine too many teams would have interest in paying what would make it worth it.
prob get the deal done real quick for like a 3rd but thats not really worth it. maybe another player in the league we can move him for thats lateral I dunno but I for sure dont think the leafs should cater to him and just trade him for very little just because he doesnt want to be here. Dubas did that too many times, if everyone hates us anyways we might as well play the heel

LW really is no need what so ever, so I highly doubt Chevy would be interested. Not saying Robertson doesn't have value, just not in this case to the Jets
why do you want "proof" from a Leaf fan? couldve been whoever said that's Uncle Larry who's been a Leaf fan since the 50's

Doubt he's traded. This is just self sabotage. He needs a full season behind him, instead he will stunt his own development.
The colour of the garbage cans in the Leafs room would get 10+ pages.
The Holtz trade got 11 and Robertson is better, so it seems warranted.
Not to mention he plays for the biggest hockey market.
Thanks for contributing to the 11 pages though and keeping this alive, it needs to be discussed more.

So would a Podkolzin for Robertson trade work?
Podz can maybe be a top 6 guy but he is a safe bet to be at the very least a 3rd/4th liner this year, unlike Robertson who has to be a top 6 asset or else hes not good enough for the lineup.
would make sense for the Canucks they can either slide him in with Petey and DeBrusk or Miller and Boeser in the top, and then push Heinen,Suter, or Hoglander down to the bottom 6.

Yeah, pretty much nobody was saying that. But you do you. How many Norris trophies is Chabot up to?But Leaf fans told me he was untouchable and the best prospect outside the NHL

If his camp was gonna leak that he wanted a trade they should have done it much sooner. He's gonna be forced to sign with Toronto and if he's properly utilized I think he scores twenty goals this year.
He's going to resign with Toronto
Have a good season because he's going to get a good opportunity with good players and then he's going to be traded, if that's what he still wants
It's in everybody's best interest he resigns and plays

I don't know enough about Podkolzin but I'm not really for this one. I'd rather swap Robertson for some kind of defender or center if they are taking the lesser player.
Podkolzin has better draft pedigree but really hasn't shown much of anything at all based on me stat watching.
I'd rather keep Podkolzin, honestly.
What'd the Canucks give the Leafs for Lafferty last year? A 5th? This guy will have the same long term impact for us, at best.

I'd say Robertson paired with either Petey or Miller could give you between 40-60 points depending how well the chemistry is and some other variables.

That.
But also, his brother is a star player and he had a pretty historic OHL season. He actually has the highest GPG in a single season of any 18 year old OHL player. I remember there was a fair amount of hype around him beyond just being a leafs player
You don't get it.
In a cap world, the most value commodity isn't only productivity it's surplus value.
Marner = 11 million dollar cap hit but he's worth about 10-10.5 million. He's a negative surplus value.
Robertson = RFA, with no negotiating rights. So he will have a very low contract around 1-2 million, and he's capable of 25-30 goals. This could be one of those surplus value contracts of 3-4 million.
Robertson is very valuable. And because of that the Leafs probably settle him in rather then moving him.
The cost for Robertson is a 3C or a 1st round pick +
You put him with a pass first center and he will score goals, the rest of his game is pretty meh but he has an extremely effective shot
He wouldn't help Pete in a lot of areas but he'd capitalize on his playmaking abilities and score from them
He's the anti Mikheyev, he does everything except score, Robertson will score and be just "there" for everything else
