Thread: Some things to note about the Robertson saga
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MellowK</b></div><div>Couple notes:

Stud doesn't add anything to this trade, he would just end up right back on waivers. He already did last season and the Devils have even less spots open now.

Assuming Robertson is looking for 9m+, the Devils can't afford to take back Dobby. So there's no "making it work financially", it just works for Dallas.

Robertson also isn't a "power forward"... he's just tall. He's as much of a power forward as Zacha was for the Devils.

And the basis behind this trade is really a "behind closed doors" type of deal, which is hard to evaluate. It's all just speculation what the disconnect between Bratt/Fitz and Robertson/Nill is. If Fitz still feels confident that he can get Bratt to stay long term, there's no chance he makes this trade, if he then there is a basis to be had here.

The Harley/Stillman/Foote as throw ins is just arbitrary and more "it just works for Dallas". Devils don't need LHD.

Trade should just be simplified to Bratt+Severson+2023 1st for Robertson as a Tkachuk comp. Which I personally wouldn't do.</div></div>

Hmm. Actual fair points. That's really rare these days, I can't really debate on these.
