vegas keeps andersson for $8.5m x7

dallas offered harley, not robertson?
and now we're being picky about the ~6 teams guy want to play for?
supposedly philly pushed hard, and toronto is also in the mix, but guessing it'll be tampa if he's turning down dallas
Harley's extension kicked in today which has a full no trade clause, so Dallas was trying to trade him before midnight last night. Robertson has a defacto no trade because teams aren't going to give Dallas what he's worth unless he agrees to a long term deal. I'm getting the feeling that Robertson really wants to play for Dallas, but at his asking price. Wants to have his cake and eat it too.
Problem is Dallas doesn't have the cap space to pay Harley and Bourque, both of which they'd like to keep. And now Harley's as mentioned full no trade kicked in.
If a team offers Robertson anything 12.5 or under, Stars match that in a heartbeat. If a team offers anything over 12, and Dallas doesn't match, they have to compensate Dallas with 4 (FOUR) 1st round picks. But there aren't many teams with the cap space and the picks.
It's a mess I'm glad I don't have to deal with.
Edit: Looks like they didn't want to keep Bourque that bad and created some more space trading him and Lyubushkin to Nashville for draft picks.
Hey 720ff, who is Blueger and is he o.k.? HAHA
yeah, the fun now is watching gms step on landmines, like:
the winners are the ones who avoid the landmines. bonus points if you can snag some of the few gems out there.
Yeah but I'm not sure even those are out there. Trouba will be a problem down the line as will Andersson, but I think the class is too weak for Bryz, Gomez, or even all the 2016 winger types of disasters.
yeah i was so surprised they were shopping harley that i temporarily forgot about that part, how robertson obv isn't going to cbus. was too lazy to go back and change it lol
he is a player that i would probably describe as "ok". was pretty bad last season for some reason, better before that. could be a useful depth guy if last season was just some weird glitch where he played hurt or something
