And what else are you offering? Because Nick Robertson had more goals than Nico Sturm had total points last season

I'm offering Sturm or Kunin (or both) for a guy who has asked for a trade and doesn't have trade value, like when the Leafs shipped off Barabonov to the Sharks for Suomela, which might as well have been Barabonov for nothing.

Not the same situation, Dubas was GM then and he likes to "do right" by players

Dubas is now in Pittsburgh making a bad situation even worse and Treliving is now GM and he doesn't seem to care what Robertson wants because Nick Robertson has absolutely 0 leverage.

The most likely outcome here is Nick Robertson signs a contract in September before camp because he has no leverage

He’d be traded for a pic of a young player in a similar position ( doubt he goes in general but for sake of discussion) ; Not waiver fodder ( many ufa could fill similar roles of the players mentioned ) .

And Brett Lebda won a cup with Detroit.

What’s your point?

Didn't you know? Cups automatically make a player better than another player that has no cups.

So I guess that means, Patrick Maroon, Chris Kuintz, Max Talbot, Pascal Dupis, Kirk Maltby, Kris Draper and countless others are all better than Mcdavid

Apologies if either of these have already been covered in this thread.

Does something around Robertson for Soderstrom work? Robertson for Harris?

I think the Leafs have two (obvious) options here.
  1. Trade him for something of (equal) value. This would most likely come on a change of scenery/position of strength for weakness type of deal. The Leafs have forwards on the roster and in the pipeline and need more young d-men. I believe the opposite is true for both Utah and Montreal. Given an opportunity Robertson could be a 20+ goal man as early as next year. Both Utah and Montreal could use that.
  2. If there is no equal value trade then the second option is for the Leafs to give him top nine minutes, maybe some PP and see if we can increase his value either to stay and contribute or be worth more in a trade. If he has no value outside of the organization then there is no risk to this approach.
I point out option 2 because there is no dump or low round pick trade options that make sense for the Leafs at this point. So, if you plan to come here to rip on Robertson and his lack of value please don't bother.

Do either Harris or Soderstrom make any sense for continued discussion?

I don't think Soderstrom has done enough to get Robertson without at least a 3rd coming along with him. I think the Leafs would take a 25 or 26 2nd for Robertson over Soderstrom+3rd

Harris wouldn't be of interest to Toronto
