Thread: Opening Night Roster and Lines
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>User123409871234</b></div><div>Is Robertson only asking for an 8x8? I would imagine him asking for the 9 Kaprizov got</div></div>

I was thinking that Robo would get that kind of contract too just based on how they've been compared to each other and their careers in the NHL thus far, but let's be honest, Kaprizov is just better than Robertson. He's got more points, the calder, and had the leverage of going back to the KHL when he was negotiating the extension, so I think based on that, Robertson is more in the neighborhood of 8x8, similar to what Robert Thomas got. I personally feel like Robertson (just going off his personality in the media and whatnot) is less about the money and more about the team so might not care to sign for a little less if it means using that extra money to acquire/sign new players

Thread: Sucks but might be inevitable
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ihopeigetit</b></div><div>Not this specifically, but Dallas does not have much money long-term for Robertson. Unless they do a bridge deal and then somehow find a way to move either Benn or Seguins contract within the next year. Also need to sign hintz next year</div></div>

Dallas definitely has enough money for a long-term deal with Robo. He'll most likely get 8x8ish and even with Otter's extension they'll be able to afford it without making any trades, but if they have to they can move Khudobin to LTIR or trade him, or trade Faksa. Also this return makes absolutely zero sense for Dallas. They have enough defenseman and Newhook isn't quite established enough yet to fetch a player like Robo. I highly doubt the Stars trade him especially now that Tkachuk is off the market, but if they do decide to, the return will be similar to what Tkachuk got: Top line player, another good roster player/high prospect, and 1st rounder, not a second pairing defenseman and a middle six forward.
