You should probably put the crack pipe down............Saying Hintz isn't worth a third and Robertson isn't worth a second? You've lost any credibility you may have had as a knowledgeable hockey fan. (not sure you had any, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt).
Think he's talking about 3rd overall & 2nd overall, respectively.

Even if those trades are for 2nd and 3rd overall which would be crazy bcuz Hintz is NOT worth 3rd and I'd argue that Robertson may not be worth 2nd either, 2nd + 3rd will not get you 1st in this draft class. Would you do Eichel and Strome for McDavid? Hell no.
That being said, Dallas wouldn't trade either of those players for the #2 or #3 pick. Give me the proven, 23-year old, 100+ point, 45+ goal scorer over Fantilli or Michkov who we HOPE can turn into what Robertson already is.
Same thing with Hintz. I'll take the 26-year old PPG Selke candidate that's already got a track record at the NHL.
Not saying anything's wrong with Fantill, Michkov, Carlsson, etc. Shoot, I think they will all be really good in the NHL. But I'm not trading away two cornerstone pieces like Robertson and Hintz for a gamble, even if it's a good one. Bedard is the only one that Dallas should consider moving Robertson or Hintz for.
