Description

I went out on the limb with some European UFAs and an offer sheet on Robertson. The Laine trade idea is interesting to me. He apparently is selling his place in Columbus. I’d have to think they are open to listening to offers.

Roberston and Puustinen are identical players just use him with Sid and save the pick
I wouldn't hate Laine but another big contract would make things tough
St. Ivany > Dumba and its not even close

Laine will cost you Yager+.

And flipped or not, Smith is not OK-ing a trade to CBJ.

You wouldn’t get a first round pick for him in a trade. What I proposed is reasonable and what you should expect. Teams are done giving away 1sts for cheap. We’ve seen that for over a year now.

Robertson has a better shot, so putting him at LW gives Sid a chance to remake what he had with Jake. I think Puustinen is a 3rd liner. I want to see St. Ivany next season but we need some kind of veteran safety valve.

Cool! Problem is, you are trying to trade for an asset that is not even on the market.

So…why would any team trade a player at their lowest value when they are not even trying to trade them? Add in PIT’s low-end prospect pool, and ya’ll are just swimming in No’s. So, I mean, Yager+ or CBJ just say “OK” and don’t care.

Particularly ironic when our mutual division rival offered a satisfactory trade in a ACGM right after you.
