I think that's actually possible. However, it doesn't necessarily have to be Mitch if they're looking for a compositional change. They already added Rantanen who they maybe like better as a playoff performer, so you can use Robertson to backfill some higher-end depth and/or picks or prospect capital, and potentially backfill further in free agency before you need to pay Robertson 10+ at the end of next year.
I would be interested if I was Calgary despite Robertson being LW, mostly because elite producers at that size and age are tough to come by. That said, Robertson isn't a fast or "hard" player, so I'd also be intrigued by further adding some beef on the back end and Hague or someone huge but mobile does seem like it's on the wishlist to slot next to Weegar.
