You'd be getting most of his peak career years.

We are probably 4+ years away from being competitive. Look at the kids having an impact on the team. They are all at least four years post draft. Most of our best prospects were drafted 24, 25, or (we hope) 26. Its going to take time.
Robertson will be approaching 30 when we hopefully are ready to compete for a cup. Which is still productive. But your paying a huge premium for a player to help you right now.
All your doing is delaying things by acquiring Robertson. Directly by what you spend to acquire him. Indirectly by keeping you wedged in the murky middle.
If your not in a position to compete for a cup in the near future then you have no business giving up major assets for a player in his prime. Your paying for wasted years.
