Value of: Nick Robertson to a non-contending team willing to move a top 4D

[Ianturnedbull]

Hainsey was a UFA. So why you're even using that trade as a guideline when you asked for term is beyond me.

My example is still sound.

Carolina gave up Hainsey and a prospect for that 2nd.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

Is that why he’s a healthy scratch?

It's a good question. He is better than a lot of the players playing in last night's game.

My only conclusion is that he's only played from time to time to be showcased.

Dubas will use him as a trade chip to bolster the Blueline.

Your example makes no sense.

"Does your non-contending team have a #3-4 D-man with a bit of term?"

I respond with a lot of teams would be interested in Robertson, but if you're looking for that younger D with term, it's going to cost a bigger piece than Roberson.

You respond back with a UFA trade from 2/2017 involving Hainsey. Yeah, sound example....

No. You're typing words in my mouth at this point.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Matheson, Eddie or Savard. You choose.

I wouldn't move Edmundson. Savard I would. Matheson I would be willing to move because they need a better PP QB than him.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Habs have zero interest in Robertson. Too small.


Makes him an inconsistent and unreliable player.

Why do people keep posting this stuff. He is NOT too small. Habs only have ONE small forward who will be around when they contend and many giants now. And even if they have too many (they draft Bedard) they will be able to move him for a lot. He is not inconsistent. The coach is an idiot.

Wow... Ok. I'm done with this. Nobody put words in your mouth. You're all over the place.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

No. I am staying put.

Robertson and a 1st round pick for a #3-4 D with a bit of term is an over-pay.

You're asking for Dubas (who I'm not crazy about) to help a non-contending team re-build in one trade. That's not going to happen.

 

[Tryblot]

Imagine reading that and thinking I'm comparing Robertson to Shane Wright LOL

Do I really have to spell it out for you ? I was showing how garbage and flawed that logic is, just because someone gets scratched doesn't make them a bad player or a bust. Jeez cannot believe I seriously had to type that out for you

Well... In that case the Blues need a top 4 D, so who on your top 4 would you be willing to trade for Logan Brown?

 

[HuGort]

I'm sticking my neck out on this one, but it no longer makes sense that TOR is keeping Robertson out of the line up. I think he's only in and out for the purposes of being showcased.

Dubas has to improve the defense of this team is serious about contending. It really looks like Muzzin might be done. I felt like Kyle's UFA signings of Benn and Mete were a stop gap for a proper defensman who can play in the top 4.

Robertson might be their best trade chip at the moment. Can he fetch a top 4D alone? I'm not sure. Kyle can add on if he feels the urgency to replace Muzzin.

Does your non-contending team have a #3-4 D-man with a bit of term?

What's Robertson worth to you?

Edmunston?

 

[Ianturnedbull]

Edmunston?

Do you mean Edmundson from MTL?

Toronto does need someone of that type.

The problem is he is left handed. Also they have Jordie Benn working his way back from injury.

He does have term. Maybe there is some basis for a trade there. I don't know how TOR feels about moving Robertson to a divisional rival...

 

[Juxtaposer]

How about Mario Ferraro? Just turned 24 years old, defensively-oriented LHD on the first year of a four year contract at $3.25M per. He hasn’t been great, but I think his development has been derailed by the chaos of the Sharks the past couple years. He was a legitimate #3 guy at age 22, has slipped off the past year or so and I feel like he really needs a change of scenery to return to where he was.

I like Robertson as a prospect and potential middle-six scoring winger and we have room in our top-6 right now for him to play.

Getting Robertson and a probable late first for a top 4 dman with some term left isn’t gonna rebuild a non contending team.

 

[DarthProbert]

Girard.

Carolina gave up Hainsey and a prospect for that 2nd.

I once bought a 12 year old car with high miles Hoping it would wouldn’t break down so I could use it for a few months.
Do I expect the cost to be the same when now buying a much newer car, in better shape that I plan to drive daily for several years?

Examples of cost are only sound when comparing like items.

Was it a Toyota?

Exactly.

 

[samsagat]

I think, as we saw at the last TD, Edmundson would fetch a 1st + b prospect.

So Edmundson for Robertson + Tor 2024 2nd

Would sounds about fair to me.

 

[FlappyGiraffe]

Robertson+ for Dillon

 

[ginovegas]

Matheson and or Edmunston could be available, but Robertson wouldn't cut it. Knies might

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Matheson and or Edmunston could be available, but Robertson wouldn't cut it. Knies might

I’m much more of a Habs fan than a Leaf’s fan, but you must recognize how ridiculous you sound

No it f***ing isn't

Habs still not interested in a undersized winger who can't cut it.

If your asking for a #3-4 D and are offering an undersized winger you best be adding your unprotected 1st in the offer. Nobody is giving you a #3-4 for the crap your offering.
