Seattle, Anaheim, Detroit just off the top of my head would no doubt send us a whopper of a package for Robertson.

I dont think this is realistic, but if some continue to say Andersson for Robertson is really possible, then I think this is the best direction to take that windfall.
SJ and Misa could be an option. Taking advantage of the extra players and the cap makes some of this possible.

Dallas is in win now mode, has cap issues and is weak at center and depth d.

Kadri and Ras for Robertson makes sense to me for both teams.

Robertson fits better with the younger teams like SJ, Anaheim, or Seattle.

Robertson and Veg 1st for Misa or Wright/Catton/O'Brien or McTavish (maybe not anymore) could make sense for these teams.
