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

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.

Yeah I know, im saying just ask him who hed sign with. No ones trading for him with a year left, during the summer

 

[PuckFegula]

Seems he got one team in mind

Georgia on my mind=Atlanta. Bring back the Thrashers.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Seems he got one team in mind

He’s on a contender in a tax free state being offered a boat load of cash so it’s not about winning or the money. Maybe he wants Dallas to trade for his brother

 

[viper0220]

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

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

2nd behind Kaprizov

...Kaprizov...

No it doesnt.

Oh yeah. Well Robertson shouldn't be offered $15M per, Seattle is just desperate.

 

[MoneyManny]

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

It's great for clickbait business.

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

Second highest paid player behind Kaprizov

Oh yeah. Well Robertson shouldn't be offered $15M per, Seattle is just desperate.

Welcome to the NHL with a cap over 100mil

 

[Claypool]

Can't Dallas just qualify him for one more year before he hits free agency? Or does Dallas want to move him in general?

 

[NinjaSens]

 

[Unspecified]

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?

Probably at this point a little of both. Dallas will pay him but not what he's hoping for. He rejected $12 mil per from Dallas and seems to not want to sign with a team that has no shot at being competitive. If any California team comes to the table it's a done deal. Seems like this whole back and forth has soured him on Dallas I think.

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

But wants to get paid like the #1 guy

Can’t have both… can he? We shall find out I guess.

 

[Turin]

$15M!? Take it and run!

He doesn’t want to play for a crappy irrelevant team

 

[boredmale]

$15M!? Take it and run!

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

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.

Oh I know. But that is normally always the case though, right? Most teams that have the cap space are likely not in a position to compete today. Or want to keep money for their own impending RFA's and UFA's. If he is making a stink about wanting more $$ than the 12M that the Stars repeatedly offered BUT wants more money and a similar level contender, it is just not going to happen.

 

[trellaine201]

Tampa?

He should sign in San Jose and take a bit less.

 

[Sensbury]

Pens, Hawks, Mammoth interested...

Pretty much. Wants to have his cake and eat it too.

 

[Woodrow]

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.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

After rejecting offers from 32 NHL teams, Robertson is wondering why nobody wants him.

 

[Taze em]

It’s always been the Hawks. What an offseason

 

[Phion Keneuf]

He should sign in San Jose and take a bit less.

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.

 

[Cancuks]

There's a deal to be made between the Leafs, Stars and Sharks involving Robertson, Knies and the #2 overall.
