I don't see why you'd have to move Clifton in this scenario if they are moving Byram as rumored. They are not cap crunched. Clifton would be overpaid, but we'd have depth.

I meant for the cap space, as adding Robertson and Dumba would be about 10 million in cap

I think Cliffton and Dumba would actually probably be almost the same player so I think you only need one moving forward

Before anything, I’d need to know Robertson’s ask for his contract. I’m not entertaining a asset laden trade for a 1 year rental or a rent with another trade at the deadline.

The contract must be manageable and not interfere with Tuch re-signing.

The Athletic ran a story today on the Stars and trading Robertson. A lot to chew on, but my summary is:

- his next contract likely pays him $10.5-11 million per over 7-8 years

- given his young age and the increasing cap, it will likely be worth it

- lots of teams will, and should, be interested 

- there’s lots to like in his game, but also a few red flags: what impact does playing with Hintz have on his game? and, the reason he is available might be because his playoff performances over the years have not been great and the Stars may have decided they need more (ie: Rantanen)

Man I’ll admit I didn’t watch too many Dallas games but the ones I did Robertson looked good, and his shot is insane 

 

I would take this gamble all day everyday, at 10-11 per season that is so doable

Dallas will need someone to play D?  

Well sure you can give them Clifton, I'm just saying we don't HAVE to move Clifton to do this. But it won't be happening. With Marchment moved I suspect they'll find a way to keep Robertson.

I can't be bothered getting into these cap discussions. It's easy to get back under cap. You just give somebody away. Hey Philly you want Samuelsson for a 7th rounder future considerations? Boom, done. It's easy to off load players. If not him somebody else.

Dang.  Just when I started to get excited about the possibility.

I think it’s 14 players signed, essentially Marchments contract under the cap.

Good GM’s find a way but there’s also Robertson raise to consider
