The Stars Should Go Get Nick Robertson For Cheap

The Stars Should Go Get Nick Robertson For Cheap

Trading Jason Robertson is stupid. If the Stars were smart, they would figure out a trade to bring the other Robertson brother to Dallas. Nick Robertson is just sitting there for the taking, and the Stars should take advantage.

Robertson, 23, wasn’t part of the playoff rotation for the Leafs. He’s also been angling a way out of Toronto for what seems like a long time. I don’t think there’s any secret that he can be had as an RFA again this offseason.

We also know the Leafs are trying to change the make up of their team this offseason. Mitch Marner is going to walk for free, and Toronto will shift its focus towards adding more grit and toughness.

Nick Robertson Still Wants Out Of Toronto

I can’t be the only one who sees an easy trade solution here, right?

The Stars need to open up cap space. How about we start with dumping Mason Marchment to Toronto in exchange for Robertson? The deal works for both sides, in reality.

Marchment feels like the one who got away. A gritty player who was in the Leafs system but was given up on too early, and flourished for other teams. He comes with a reasonable $4.5 million AAV and can be dropped in the Leafs’ lineup as a depth winger with the DNA of the exact type of player they’re looking for.

For Dallas, Nick Robertson represents exactly what they need. A depth winger who can produce while also saving cap space. Plus, acquiring both Robertson brothers probably helps make life easier in extending Jason…

It makes too much sense not to happen. Pick up the phone, Jim Nill. I’m not sure what you’re waiting for on this one.
