little do we know, they are trading Seguin for a motherload of picks and prospects

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Robertson for Chychrun

Lol that would be horrendous for Dallas so hopefully for their sake not ..

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

found a buyer for Dobby so that can sign Robertson to bigger money?

 

[Rob Brown]

That would be a big Wednesday.

 

[Deadly Dogma]

For someone not 100% up to speed on the Stars, do they need to move cap to resign Robertson?
If so what are their options?

 

[BruinsBtn]

Gotta be a Robertson contract.

 

[Uncle]

Right now they have about 7.8m in cap space so depending on what the extension looks like, maybe they can move Khudobin or someone else to fit him in if hes looking for more than 8m per year

Depends on Robo's contract, but maybe 1-2 million.

Most likely guy moved would probably be Khudobin, who has 1 year left on his deal at like 3 million.

ok thx for the info.
Man imagine a Nylander-Robertson swap....just to see the fireworks lol
As a Leaf fan I would be upset, Nylander is going to have a huge yr this yr. He legit looks like our best player so far.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Blake Wheeler to Dallas E69

Outside of resigning robertson, what areas of the lineup would your GM be looking to improve?

Is he healthy? If so, how has he been in the preseason?

Dallas is attaching a motherload of picks and prospects you mean.

Lol.

In your dreams Nylander for Robertson.

I'd guess as healthy as he ever will be again, but the 2020 playoff run did a lot of damage to his body.

As for his play... not so great. He might be an OK backup if a team stinks in net, but I think most teams can do better than him at backup goalie at this point in his career.

Lol.

In your dreams Nylander for Robertson.

I bet Nylander gets more points than Robertson this season

 

[McJedi]

Lol again. Robertson so much more valuable an asset. Not even in same time zone of value.

And I’m someone that thinks Nylander is pretty darn good and on a reasonable contract.

For someone not 100% up to speed on the Stars, do they need to move cap to resign Robertson?

Kinda depends... they would have had a little over $8M to re-sign Robertson if they went with a standard/conservative 22-man roster with the cheapest filler options. But if they want to keep 23 and further if they want to accommodate some of the young guns who are a tad pricier than some of their filler options, then it would eat into that a little bit.

Moving Cap would benefit them on the the Robertson front, certainly. It wouldn't have been impossible to sign him for 8x$8M-ish previously, but if they have decided they truly want to keep some of Johnston/Bourque/Stankoven and also run a full 23-man roster, and that they are willing to lock up Robertson at more of a "premium" price than a "fair/bargain" price... then yeah, they would need to move Cap. And giving up something to get rid of Khudobin is the easiest way. I imagine they hoped Khudobin would fail his physical or something. But if that ship has sailed, their hand might be forced now.
