Would you rather have Robertson vs Sillinger + 14OA?
1) The Flames need Cs and do not need wingers
2) If you do think Robertson is better value than Sillinger + 14OA then you go back to CBJ and tell them to up their offer....
3) There are other teams in on this conversation. Bruins, Red Wings, Mammoth, Sharks, etc.
Either way, if the Stars cannot offer the Flames a young C then they won't be in the Andersson sweepstakes. There are zero other #1RD who can be had for under $3M cap hit next season. The Stars need this trade a lot more than the Flames.

I dunno. At 14OA we're not likely to get an impact player this year. Sillinger may not turn out to be an amazing player. I'd likely pass on him or flip him. We need impact, and Robertson is clearly the best available. I'd be more inclined to take either of those offers and add to see if we can move into the top 4 if your player is available.
