Does he make us better for the long term? And could we become a contender? I am skeptical. I believe the opportunity cost would also be huge. You would be losing high draft pick spots the next few years. You would also likely not be trading players like Kadri and Coleman if you sign him, which loses more potential draft picks.
Just something to think about.

I agree (although I'm also paranoid about another Huberdeau situation), but I also agree with diss in that I believe Conroy has been given the mandate by ownership to compete ASAP and make the playoffs. I think if a deal can be reached to land Robertson (or a similar player of a similar age), it will at least be explored. That said, I would rather go for a younger guy like McTavish.
