That's not necessarily the problem with the trade from T.O. perspective (though I also agree), its just that it doesn't actually help Toronto in any way to add another bottom 6 guy.Seems like a loss for Toronto. Trading a guy who produces half a point a game rate and will keep getting better for a guy who's appears to be just a 4th liner with toughness. We'd have to add to get Robertson.
We dont even really need bottom pairing defenceman, as most leafs fans have been happily shocked by Benoit's play (I personally consider him our 5, over Giordano right now) and happy with Lagesson and Timmons behind him as 7/8's so moving Robertson for a bottom pair, limited upside Dman isnt really what we are after either.
