- If the Sharks do not want to suck again this year they HAVE to find a better RD than Klingberg for their top pair.
- Carolina makes sense and have some assets to dangle.
- Leafs would want Andersson but do not have much to offer the Flames.
- Vegas does not make sense while we hold their 1st (and they do not have great assets to trade for).
- Bruins, Red Wings, and Blue could all be interested too. I could see this group wanting to wait to see how the season starts before spending to fill their gaps, but of course that means they are starting the season in a weakened position... so how could they expect good results when you have a known issue in the depth chart??

The Stars make sense but they are a tough trading partner. Bourque is a mediocre return and just adds another middle meddling forward. Even with a high draft pick, it is likely to be very late in the round.
Would love to get Bischel but it makes no sense for the Stars to move him since he is cost controlled and already a formidable piece of their defense.
Outside of those pieces the Stars don’t have much of interest.
Does a package of Andersson (50%) + Coleman get Robertson? I would do that. If Robertson doesn’t want to sign move him at deadline retained.
