Quoting: Hawksguy81
Hawks easily decline. Robertson is worth anything close to a top 35 pick in the draft.
Quoting: klassic
Robinson does not have anywhere near 2nd round pick value.
Just to put in perspective to Hawks fans how absurd this stance is:
This season...
Reichel (21y old): 10 points in 50 games, 0.2 goals/60, 0.8 points/60
Robertson (22y old): 19 points in 40 games, 1.1 goals/60, 2.5 points/60
To company more Apples to Apples
Reichel (20y old in AHL): 0.93 points/game
Robertson (20y old in AHL) 1 point/game
Since you'll talk about physicality next:
Robertson 25 hits in 40 games this year
Reichel 20 hits in 50 games this year
Then you'll talk about defence:
Robertson (this season): 19 blocked shots and 14 giveaways
Reichel (this season): 16 blocked shots and 28 giveaways
So please tell me when you have a guy one year older who is 5x better goal producer and 3.5x better point producer while having better defensive and physical metrics. How is it that you'd value the better player at "not anywhere near 2nd round pick value" but you'd value the worse player at a 1st+.
