Leafs accept without hesitation

Damn really? I’d say the same for the caps. Not because TVR is bad but I’m a huge Robertson fan.

Robertson doesnt fit in our lineup. just doesnt work

Leafs wouldn't do that

Kaliyev might cost more than a 3rd, but aslong as it's not a 1st id make the trade

Chase Stillman is a huge bust, why is he even part of the deal

Simple: (1) getting Jensen off the roster and off the ice is a net positive; (2) getting Jensen's salary off the books without any retention is a net positive; (3) NJ is desperate for D; and (4) caps have a positive reclamation project history (see Strome, Milano, and Sandin). In fact, I'd like the caps to target Roberston, Kaliyev, and Broberg as fringe players on playoff teams who could thrive with more opportunity in DC.

Strome, Sandin, and Milano were hardly reclamation projects in the way that still man would be. They were all NHLers when the caps acquired them. Stillman is less than .5 ppg in the AHL after two terrible CHL seasons for a 1st
