That 1st round pick may be decent. Lots of age related decline risk. Lost some talent too.

Does deadline space even matter anymore with a playoff cap?

Looks pretty good to me. But some teams got stronger and will pass them. Florida. Toronto, of course. : )

If the hockey gods have a sense of humour, they’ll finish low enough in the standings that the pick will be 11th overall and avoid the top-10 protection the Avs put on it, but then Colorado will win the lottery and the pick will slide to 2028.
Though the most likely outcome is that they’re still comfortably a playoff team even if they’re not as good as they once were, and then we trade away the pick.

They’re gonna be top 5 or 10, barring some big injury to Mack or Makar.

Top 10 gets out pick to #22

It doesn’t matter anyway.
There’s zero chance that Chaykes doesn’t trade the pick long before the draft.

If that happens, the pick will either be #11 or it'll be in the top 10 and the receiving team will get an unprotected 1st in 2028. And it'll be #1.
I'm playing the role of leafsgm here.

The Chaykanator may be a dumbass when it comes to 4th liners and the allocation of cap dollars, but hopefully he’s smart enough to put top-10 protection on any 1st rounder he trades away, including Colorado’s.

Honestly, half the fun of being a Leafs fan is being the hated, cursed team and watching the media and fans turn themselves into pretzels trying to justify the constant double standards.

Him announcing he’s going to file for arbitration strikes me as him putting the word out to the league that if anyone wants to tender a massive offer-sheet to him, they have until 5pm today to do it.

Which Dallas will match and then he won’t be able to get out of there.

I guess that’s the question. Does Robertson want to get out of there? Or is the whole dispute just that Dallas won’t pay him what he thinks he’s worth?
Because yeah, if he wants to leave, then he can’t sign an offer sheet. Arbitration and a one-year deal that walks him to UFA status next year would be the way to go.
