Absolutely no interest in installing Jake Muzzin 2.0 even if he would waive his NTC, plus we could re-sign Alex Edler for less than Jake's cap hit, and we would probably get the same results without having to expend assets to re-acquire Muzz. Will you Toronto guys please stop doing this? It's like the Montreal guys with their silly Jeff-Petry-to-Detroit trades.</div></div>

Yup, totally fair - someone else detailed a bunch of points that basically derail any trade. Was just going with a convenient possibility, didn't know how well Edler had been playing (east coast bias of course lol) and figured he was just playing out his contract given he's 36.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>Giving away a close to ready ELC player like Robertson doesn't do them any favors, I think Dubas can get a bit more out of Kerfoot (not a big issue). I like the amount of changes, seems like something that could happen if Kadri is willing to sign in Toronto (would be nice if he took the Nugent-Hopkins/Rust deal) giving them some more cap for the future.</div></div>

The Robertson inclusion was mainly for sending Muzzin away without giving up even more picks (although pretty unlikely overall that Muzzin is going anywhere). Realistically, it was more of the fact that Tavares looked a little slower towards the end of the year and another good C would help support him (like the whole Stamkos thing in Tampa that happened a couple years back). Losing Kerfoot is basically the trade-off, but if they can make it work without another bigger name forward then I like him on the team still.
