Sportsnet: Robertson Thread II: Rejected trade/contract from Kraken and Blues (Mod warning post #1)

[Spearmint Rhino]

I think he does not want to be #1 guy, he wants to play second fiddle.

For $15MM he should be a one-man band

 

[Malkinstheman]

Pens, Hawks, Mammoth interested...

Pens offer #22 and Brazeau and Nill happily accepts because Robertson only wants to play for the Pens

 

[quat]

$15M!? Take it and run!

but its hard to run with all that money!

 

[GoldenSeal]

Seattle apparently offered him $15M per x 8 wow. He's not worth that. $15M makes him the highest paid player in the NHL.

DUDE IS SMOKING CRACK FOR SAYING NO.

 

[monkforasia]

Would love if he forced his way to Chicago.

Not sure what Utah has that Dallas would want.

 

[Yatzhee]

I think he doesn't want to sign an extension at all. It seems like he wants a 1 year deal to become a UFA next year.

I think you’re right. Looks like he wants to walk right to the next years salary cap bump. What’s it supposed to go up to next year, 116 million?

 

[Claypool]

Not sure what Utah has that Dallas would want.

It's Dave Pagnotta.

Would love if he forced his way to Chicago.

What would Chicago’s lines look like with him? Thanks.

Rumor: Post in thread 'Hawks expected to make big splash (Robertson, Knies, etc)'

I keep going back and forth on whether I’d wanna include Nazar or not. It’s a tough call.

Robertson-Bedard-Kantserov
Bertuzzi-Frondell-Teravainen
Greene-Moore-Lardis
XXX-Donato-XXX

It’s not the worst looking lineup

Of course you include Nazar if Robertson is gettable.

• Sarava

 

[Malkinstheman]

Nill needs to suck it up and just offer the guy 2m more /year. Maybe stop signing scrubs like Dumba/Lyubushkin every summer and give that money to your star players

 

[Anaheim4ever]

Sounds like he wants to go to Anaheim or LA.
LA has terrible prospects left, Anaheim can top anything LA offers and still not give up any of McQueen, Luneau or Solberg.

Does he push them into the playoffs?

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

B.Tkachuk reacting to losing the 'Arse of the Offseason' award.

 

[monkforasia]

Does he push them into the playoffs?

Probably.

 

[SjMilhouse]

Most logical destination for him at this point I think.
Sharks probably want to give up 9++. Stars want 2+ I’m assuming that’s the hold up.

Sharks should offer 9 and say take it or leave it. Let Robertson do the rest of he wants to play in San Jose. Or Dallas can offer more money with term..or gamble on walking him to UFA

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Does he push them into the playoffs?

they'd be in the mix

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

Sources say Robertson has requested a trade to a team in Pennsylvania but has rejected both Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.

 

[MikeyMike01]

No it doesnt.

$15M makes him the highest paid player if you ignore the players that get paid more.

 

[Taze em]

Does he push them into the playoffs?

I mean they’d have 2 100 point forwards rolling with two of the 5 favorites for the 2027 Calder and the new look D corp and an above average goalie.

“I prioritized Rantanen and Harley and to a certain extent, 43 year old Jamie Benn over you and then traded away our 2nd and 4th round picks for Tyler Myers and now we have no cap here is the deal I offered Rantanen a year ago when I made it clear you won’t be here long term.”

 

[TheRumble]

If Jason Roberterson turned down that deal because he's thinks hes worth more than guys like Marner, Kucherov, Pastrnak are worth 86 million/year.

If he turned it down because he doesn't think Seattle has it in them to make a deep run, alright fair enough, it's your career.

If he turned it down due to reasons I can't mention due to the mod warning. Spicy.

But honestly, even with the cap jumping $9 million/year going forward thats one of the few contracts for an elite player I'd say nah to.

 

[Unspecified]

Robertson to SJ for 9OA + Misa then we trade the 9OA to Toronto for Knies+

 

[333KIngs]

He wants La/anaheim fwiw. I see a fit in Utah for some reason . Chicago could be a nice fit also

 

[Canadienna]

Might want to include the reported offered salary of 15m in the OP, as that's what makes this juicy imo.
