I don't think there's an impending Holl trade.

Inside looking out:
Sandin - due to his contract status

Outside looking in:
Benn, Mette, Simmonds, Clifford, Malgin, Robertson.

 

[Advanced stats]

Hopefully Robertson gets a spot over Gaudette

I haven't heard any rumours, etc. I just think that he costs too much for a #6 D. Mete and Benn are more cost efficient.

I think they'll be trying for different positions regardless. Robertson will likely be tried out in the top 9 to see if he fits. Guadette is here for energy support in the 4th line.

Perfect scenario IMO is
Have the kids play a lot with the Marlies leaving Robertson and Sandin as the OUTs.

And to somehow find the cap space to add Zach Aston Reese, or Sony Milano to the 3rd line/4th line mix and Benn and Mete fight it out as 7th D as my INs.
