Adding Robertson makes less sense now than it did yesterday. We do not want to keep Robertson, he would need to be flipped for a C that we actually want.
IMO, we tell the Stars to go away and work on a better offer because Robertson does not fit in the Flames org as long as we have Huberdeau. Basically force them to either move Johnston of find a 3-way trade that lands us a top 6 center.

Robertson fills a need. Who else is a primary shooter than Coronato? Not really anyone else. Robertson can play both wings too, I would plant him with Huberdeau and see where that goes. In fact, that could end the constant line blender of plugging someone with Huberdeau and Kadri. Those 3 would play together and in my opinion would be a great line. Or, if we do find someone that could offer that center, we can do that too. But tell me, who is offering a 1C in today's NHL? No one. That's why we just need to get center stopgaps until our prospects develop into the center we need.
