I don't know about this one. While the Oilers have a log jam on the left side and that could make Broberg available (or Kulack, depending on how the chips fall) and they do need a RW, I am not sure Robertson is the guy to target.

He's a little under sized and an average skater, correct? I don't know how that would work for the Oilers.

You’d have to think Sharks beat the Leafs offer here

Which player would you have in mind out of curiosity?

 

[Ragdoll]

Word is the Oilers organization sees Broberg as nhl ready but don’t have the space for him. Stauffer has mentioned a few times the idea of moving Kulak out in order to make room for Broberg.

Even if that wasn’t the case, Oilers have ZERO use for a player like Robertson. Broberg, if moved, would be moved for a player that helps the team today.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Both have massive warts. Fair offer! Well done!

 

[TheOrangeDesk]

I'm still high on broberg and reports ate oilers still have him in plans for future. He's killing the ahl right now and the only reason he hasn't established himself in nhl is opportunity. Robertson reminds me a lot of Yamamoto. Not sure oilers need to go back there

 

[TFHockey]

What if the Oilers moved Kulack in that trade instead of Broberg? That would save Edmonton about two million in cap space and give Toronto a help-right-now guy on defense, who is signed to a very reasonable contract.

Edmonton then flips Robertson in a package for Guenzel at 50%. Pittsburgh wouldn't have to take back a big contract in that scenario if they don't want to.

Zero interest in moving Robertson for that. Kulak wouldn't provide any sort of upgrade over the guys we have in the lineup ATM.

You don't see Kulack as an upgrade on Giordano at this stage of his career, or Simon Benoit?

I, uh, have to respectfully disagree.

Toronto also has three pending UFAs on the back end including Gio, and having a signed Kulack makes sense for this year and after.

Broberg for Tyler Toffoli

Broberg for Tyler Toffoli

Money has to go back to NJ, but I really like Toffoli. Always have.

No Jack Campbell lol

No Jack Campbell lol

Heh, fair.

Although.. a lot of non Oiler fans probably don't know this, but Campbell has put his game back together in the AHL after a really rocky start. Good enough to make back to the NHL? I dunno, but at least he is doing well in Bakersfield.

Anyway no Campbell proposals here

 

[McJedi]

That offer seems fair and reasonable to me. The change of scenery deal where a better path to playing time is hopefully available to each player.

Simple and elegant. Not offensive from a value swing and miss to either fan base. Nice one OP.

I think Robertson has some (more likely one) louder tool(s) than Yamamoto. Get his shot on a PP with McDavid or Draisaitl and he'd be a big weapon for you but the comparison ain't crazy and I'd see the hesitance to go there.

Can't see any player acquired at the deadline getting a spot on the PP with McDrai unless there is an injury.

Benoit has actually been excellent.

 

[hamzarocks]

Its a pretty fair offer but I just have a strong preference to see robertson work out here

Kids battled injuries and an incompetent coach and is looking to be solid thos year

Broberg is nice as well. A good get for the leafs.

Tough deal to say both yes and no to at the same time haha

 

[La Bamba]

I’d much rather keep Broberg. He’s progressing well as a young D man. He was a reach at #8 overall but he’s still a good prospect

 

[ChaoticOrange]

I don't mind Robertson but as a small left shot LW I don't know where he fits. He's not kicking anyone out of the top 6 and I don't know if his game is suited to the bottom six.

All things considered I'd rather just keep Broberg. He's playing very well in the AHL and I'd be trying very hard to open up a fulltime spot for him in the offseason.

 

[ManofSteel55]

No Jack Campbell lol

Awe come on, I thought we were friends.

 

[LTIR]

Broberg for Lafferty would have been nice... oh well..

 

[zar]

Oilers can’t afford to quit on Broberg, they need him to turn out to be at least a very solid 2nd pairing guy. The alternative is flipping Broberg in a package for a high level need. To me the only high level need the Oilers need is a very solid defensive RHD who can take Ceci’s role next to Nurse.

Robertson has done well with limited opportunities but not a guy I would want to move Broberg for.

 

[StuckOutHere]

Can't see any player acquired at the deadline getting a spot on the PP with McDrai unless there is an injury.

I'm just saying the guy has the right toolset to be a weapon on a PP that is distracted by two all-world players. He'd get looks and that shot is an absolute weapon.
