Description

Not sure this is even a good idea, but it was a thought I had ... Leafs are in a unique position as they could care less what they have to pay Kane over the term of a longer contract. Realistically Kane probably knows it's unlikely he plays past next year and if he does, then great, you've got Patrick Kane for $3M. If not, he goes on LTIR and adds another $12M to his career earnings., which I'd expect is a lot higher in actual dollars than anyone else would offer him on a 1-2 year deal. Total guesswork, but I'd imagine someone will offer him $5-6M on a 1-year deal, maybe $4M x 2.

Hanifin seems to make sense for this team and Robertson may just be showing enough promise to finally get some value out of him. Not sure Calgary likes him though, so might have to be a bigger trade involving more parts (Liljegren and Zadorov maybe?).

Flames likely decline but if Robertson is getting traded this would be the trade I’d want, but Hanifin hasn’t been linked to the leafs once and likely won’t waive

Calgary aint giving up Hanifin 50% retained with a 3rd for a traffic cone a injury prone middle 6 winger and a 1st no chance.

Robertson is not interesting at all in a deal, undersized, left shot, can't stay healthy and plays the same position where the Flames have Pelletier, Honzek, Zary, all of which are 22 or younger. Robertson doesn't fit a need whatsoever.

Add a 1st+ for the trade.

Kane isn't set to meet with TML so I think it's a stretch he will go there.

Fair enough .. Let me ask you this, how would your view change if Robertson continues at a point-per-game pace for like another ~15-20 games with no injuries? He's gotten pretty unlucky and hasn't had a decent enough run in the NHL to firmly categorize him as a middle six winger, IMO. Would you be interested in a 22-year old, former OHL goal scoring leader (55G in 46 games), who hasn't really had a real chance until now, and is putting up top line numbers in exchange for your 2-3 Dman who we're assuming (in this scenario) will walk in the offseason? 1st for a 3rd is in exchange for paying Klingberg $1M to singlehandedly increase your draft position lol
