Nothing close that I’ve heard but it makes you wonder if there’s a swap including him with Anderson and other pieces

What is he without a legit #1C? Do we know? I don't watch him except when he is playing the Flames.

Unsigned Robby for unsigned Ras headline the deal, can we take some salaries and get some kids too? Or retain some $$$ on Coleman and send him for picks/youngsters. Let's make this a blockbuster!

Coleman creates a hole. To fill it, shift Flames wingers down a line after inserting Robby at the top. Not bad.

It makes too much sense. Probably won't happen.

The Sens have traded Zack MacEwen to the Devils for face-puncher Kurtis MacDermid.

Yea I don’t know.
He can generate his own offence, that’s for sure.
But he does benefit from playing a more skilled system, puck possession being key.

With our luck… I don’t even want to think about it!

Would rather not get a winger that’s going take opportunity away from players like Coronato, Zary and Gridin.

You talking about Robertson?!

Yeah who wants a 26 year old that is over PPG for his career and has had a 109 point season. This place is wild sometimes...none of those guys are even close to his skill and two of them aren't even much younger. And I love all three players.

It would be a very interesting move... but I would hope that they flip him right away to one of the C heavy teams (Sharks, Ducks, Blackhawks, etc). It could turn into quite the blockbuster then...

Trade 1: Robertson + Lyubushkin (2 year cap dump) <-> Andersson (retained) + Coleman (retained) + ??

Then move out Robertson for a young C.

I know in the summer when we suggested an Andersson++ trade to the Red Wings for Danielson the answer was "No, Yzerman loves Danielson too much". But to get a 40 goal scorer?
Or how about the Blackhawks? They have Bedard, Nazar, Moore, and Frondell. Would a C be available for Robertson as a top line winger?

How much would CP lower the value of Robertson once he was a Flame instead of a Star?

This post has aroused me, you devil!

CC, are you reading this? Only one way to find out if this is doable.

Is Hintz a legit #1C? Because Robertson did great playing with him. Hintz is definitely better than Kadri, but he's closer to Kadri than any of the top 10 C's in the NHL.

[Ped]

Kadri actually finished ahead of Hintz last year in the scoring race - same points but Kadri had more goals, although he played 6 more games.

The last 100+ point winger the Flames traded for didn't turn out as great. Without good C depth, wingers wont do as well. This team needs to build slowly and properly, adding wingers that excel in a system the Flames don't play will go poorly for them.

Robertson would be a great addition to a lot of teams but just doesn't make sense for the Flames. It would be like adding performance tires to a station wagon.

Hence why flipping him would be the way to go. The Stars need a top 4 RD and middle 6 LW. Andersson and Coleman can play those roles at a discounted rate. Although, if the Stars trade Robertson, Coleman would then be their #1LW. Yikes.

The Stars also need to unload Lyubushkin and the Flames could bury him, if needed, or hold him until another team has injuries and flip him too.

The trade is a good fit for the Stars, but not so much for the Flames.

However, if Robertson changes which teams want to trade a C to the Flames, then that is a win. I think Robertson could be close in value to most of the good C prospects that Conroy would be looking at and, if needed, a pick or prospect could be added to up the offer (but I doubt it would need to be a significant add).
