Why are you trading Gurianov for nothing?

This was before Robertson was signed and this was the third version of the roster that I did with varying different ROBO contracts. This roster was ROBO signing for 8 years x $8.75 mil (now after seeing his 4x$7.75 deal it’d likely had been 8x$9.5). I was simply working out what scenarios the stars would have to go through depending on what Robertson signed for.

Although, Gurianov has not impressed at all in camp and that’s with the new coach/more offensive scheme. Hopefully he snaps out of it and produces during the season but I think we could very easily see Guri traded in season. Who knows what the return on him would be. Some teams might look at his 20 goal year and value him more while other teams would say he is what he’s been for the last 2 seasons. So to answer your question, this wasn’t necessarily about projecting what Guri could fetch in a trade but making moves to fit a ROBO long term deal.

I've gotta disagree with you when you say Gurianov hasn't impressed in camp. The line of Marchment-Hintz-Gurianov has been the best overall line in camp so far & Gurianov's shooting the puck at a much higher rate through the preseason than he did at all last season. DeBoer has even brought him up in a couple of his press conferences saying that he's going to see significant power play time because you want your best shooters on the ice during those moments.

Am I saying he's going to turn into a 40+ goal scorer? No, but he's already looking significantly better now than he did last season under Bowness.
