More importantly, I would be concerned about trading for Robertson only to have to sign him to a huge contract before seeing the fit (just like Huberdeau) simply to avoid him walking to free agency after a trade. Would love the idea of a 3-team trade with the flames acquiring the picks/prospects from another team that wants Robertson.

Yes, he is a great player. Do not get me wrong.
But he is that one last complimentary piece you want for a contender looking to make a run. I do not see a fit with the Flames.
