It's possible returns for certain players are lesser than what I'm proposing here, but at the end of the day, adding Robertson is really the only big addition here. If the caps need to pay to dump Kuznetsov and don't get Dvorak in return, re-sign NAK and play Malenstyn at 4C.

Leafs obviously accept but no way caps are throwing patches in there for free so they would decline this lol

I don't know how much value Pacioretty has, but it would be fine with me if it was TVR and Patches for Robertson straight up. Maybe other fans have different ideas.

I just don’t think we need patches so I would say we would pass on that but I love the trade as is if you just drop patches I think this has a real shot at being our deadline move

Genuine question, with Rantanen, Drouin, Lehkonen, Nichushkin, Wood, LOC , Kovalenko coming, Cogliano, Meyers (who should be playing in the NHL), Kiviranta, Tufte(who also should probably be playing the NHL), and possibly Landeskog all on the wing why would COL want a guy like Milano or more importantly why would they want his contract?

They might not. It could be to any team that has a spot open in the top 9 and wants to add him. He's only making 1.95m per year for the next two seasons so it's not an anchor of a contract or anything. I'd be happy with whatever return considering he's essentially found money for the caps.
