  1. bob sturm is pretty convinced that they're trading robertson and it's because he doesn't do enough in the playoffs.  he's a know-it-all but also the most plugged in of the big DFW media guys. 

     

    i'm not really sure how the stars can get a halfway decent return for robertson with their current cap situation.  any player that would make the trade palatable is making more than robertson ($7.75m) or is due for a payday too.

    That’s honestly incredible if that’s true. The two firsts aren’t that valuable as they would likely be late round picks. Did Carolina get absolutely bent over on trades this season, or what?

    bad risk management imo.  necas's contract is up next year and rumor is that he didn't want to re-sign with carolina.  colorado wouldn't let carolina talk to rantanen about an extention before trading him

     

    i'm with you on the first round picks.  guys picked at the end the first have a 50/50 shot at 100 NHL games.  as of today they traded necas for an undersized guy with good potential and maybe two guys who will combine for 200 NHL games

    They really are a joke. My only question is where do they go? I’ve heard Houston floated around as a possible destination but would that really be any better?

    Fertitta has expressed interest in owning an NHL team before.  The current owner of the Coyotes only owns the team so that he can run a sportsbook in Arizona.  We'll see how long the other owners put up with him having the team in a 5,000 seat arena before they take it from him. 

    Houston has some hockey history with the WHA & AHL Aeros existing in some form for about 25 years.  As long as the team is competitive people will show up and that franchise can't do any worse in Houston than what they've been doing in Phoenix for the last 25 years.
