Keep the politics out of it or you will be gone. Continue:

Robertson

[Just A Bit Outside]

Robertson (extended) for #9, #27 + Chernyshov

 

[Jay26]

I know I'm really behind on this but is it that Robertson doesn't want to stay in Dallas or is Dallas unwilling to pay him?

 

[Grinner]

Seems he got one team in mind

 

[Rob Brown]

Seems he got one team in mind

And that is?

 

[SiempreSalvaje]

Traded to MN for Stramel+ so Jobo can learn a thing or two from a few gold medal Olympians.

 

[Brain Crush]

Bet he ends up with the Habs. It's got the desirable city, the winning and the assets.

 

[eojsmada]

Seems he got one team in mind

Or just a team that is closer to contending

 

[Grinner]

And that is?

We'll find out soon enough

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

At this time, just let him and his agent talk to teams where he wants to sign. Let them do the work and come back with the framework of the offer and then decide if they want to trade them to said team(s). He certainly has destination(s) in mind but whether they want him to pay what he wants. The Stars then weigh the offer and decide if they want to make the deal or not.

 

[Brodie]

A lot of you are going to feel very foolish tomorrow when he is traded to Edmonton

 

[LTIR]

And that is?

The Oilers obviously

 

[Malkinstheman]

I get why teams have trades ready before asking a player to waive their NTC/NMC but like why dont you just ask Robertson where he wants to go lol. This all feels like such a waste of everyones time

 

[Jozay]

Bro wants Vegas. Let’s just fast forward to that point.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

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

I think Dallas would be happy to. Problem is finding a team he will sign with, has the assets, has the cap space and is willing to make the trade.

Sharks can. But I am not convinced the Sharks would rather pay him 14mil vs Stenberg on an ELC.

He doesn’t have a NMC/NTC. He is just saying he won’t sign an extension there. Dallas could trade him to Seattle as a rental.

 

[joestevens29]

I hope he picks Winnipeg

 

[mphmiles]

He doesn't have a big incentive to accept an offer sheet or a sign and trade. How contract/trade negotiations are likely going with he and Dallas:

Robertson: "Either pay me what I'm worth, or I'm taking my 1 year qualifying offer and walking to UFA status in a year whether you trade me or not, and then picking where I want to go. Ball's in your court and I'm good either way."

...Kaprizov...

No it doesnt.

 

[SensFactor]

$15M!? Take it and run!
