Robertson - Read Desc Please

Created by: Arh613
Team: 2022-23 Buffalo Sabres
Initial Creation Date: Sep. 28, 2022

Description
I know that everybody is getting sick of seeing it, but I wanted to post my take on what it *COULD* look like for this type of deal for Robertson to Buffalo.

Just as a note, I don't think that this will happen at all, but still fun to look at different possibilities.

People keep using the term "an Eichel like return"

1. A Roster player (career ~0.5 PPG middle six player) = Tuch
2. Young Top 6 Center Prospect = Krebs
3. Top 10 Protected First Round Pick
4. Second Round Pick

In this case
1. Olofsson, brings a different skill set to the table than Tuch, albeit slightly less valuable / talented
2. Ostlund = Top 6 center prospect drafted in the middle of the first round in 2022 Draft
3. Make the 2023 1st pick Top 5 protected --> A first round pick from Buffalo going into this season would appear more valuable than a first round pick from Vegas going into last season. Not to mention 2023 looking like a significantly stronger class.
4. Ryan Johnson --> Unsigned, but If he does sign you get a near NHL ready LD, if not you get a second round pick Comp.

IMO the Sabres would have to add a bit more here to account for a few things, including:
1. Jack's Injury at the time of trade (However Vegas wasn't making that trade without confidence that he was going to return 100% but I digress)
2. A more competitive trade market

Things that could be used as sweeteners to accomodate:
1. Isak Rosen = First Round Pick in 2021 LW

OR

1. Casey Mittlestadt
2. 2023 2nd Round Pick

Swap Noah for JJ and that’s likely the over pay necessary to pry him from Dallas. Still don’t love losing JRob

I could c Buffalo offering their unprotected 2023 first, Oloffson, Middlestadt, Ostlund and Rosen. I don’t c them trading any of the guys u listed.

All Buffalo needs is a goalie and a top four righty d man. Adding Robertson only makes sense because of how loaded Ottawa is up front.

Difference between Krebs and Ostlund is Krebs was a projected top 5 pick who fell due to injury. Ostlund was always projected to go mid round

That's not enough. In order to actually make it worth Dallas' while we'd have to give up another high quality prospect/piece.
