<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rage44</b></div><div>I believe this WAS true. With his track record for not being able to hold a roster spot- plus his injury history- they might be happy take what they can get at this point. Knies proving he's ready for a top 9 role (at worst) doesn't help NR's case.

No argument that Robertson is talented-- but is he going to make the roster in a top 9 role for any reason other than he's &lt;900k ? I'm not sure that's the case for 23/24 or beyond. Years of control may be the only reason he remains in TOR this offseason.</div></div>

I definitely this the Leafs will trade him but they'll want some value back. Not guys they can get for 5th round picks.

Robertson will be at his best on a line where he is the trigger man. In TO, it's either be the puck retriever in the top 6 or play with low event grinders in the bottom 6. It's just not a situation that works for him.

The hope is he'll have a good stretch to build value and get traded for something they need more.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rage44</b></div><div>Dubas accepts-- especially if Gio hangs them up (which I think is going to happen).
Robertson may have the highest ceiling-- but he can't seem to stay on the ice. Getting a 3rd pairing D and bottom 6 winger for cheap is fine by me</div></div>

Its a pretty weak proposal IMO, and I made it. Seeler probably gets a 3rd in a future draft or something like a 4th and 5th, as his value has soared (Alot of TB proposals are 2 4ths). PHI lacks LW prospects and cvertainly Robertsons value is at an all time low, but PHI could have him in AHL or see if he can gel. (One of robertsons biggest problems is hes a small offensive winger and toronto doesn;t have a spot for him in top 6 and always needs size/toughness, maybe on a more size/grit balanced team like PHI he could "hit").

But yeah its a pretty good deal for TOR
