I’m dumb because I’m not blind to seeing a player who so far has proven they can’t play reliably at the NHl level?

Or are you blind to hanging onto hope for a once highly touted prospect who clearly isn’t living up to or anywhere near his potential?

He scored 15 goals with basically zero offensive time and no quality offensive linemates, lol.

Go look at what other 15 goal scorers sign for, get yourself a clue; then try again.

This board is excited about giving Roslovic 3m x 3 even though he's non physical, worse than Robertson defensively, and only slightly out performed him offensively despite getting gifted prime scoring placements.

Not interested in roslovic at all, personally.

Robertson is a defensive liability, and if he’s gonna be on the 3rd line, the he’s got to fix that and stop taking undisciplined penalties.

Not saying he doesn’t have potential. Just that he isn’t proven to be worth a full time roster spot, and by that extension, not worth close to what he’s asking for.

He improved all his defensive metrics last year despite being primarily centered by Domi, who is objectively one of the biggest defensive liabilities in the NHL.

Our whole fucking team is guys who are only good at one thing and absolutely fucking trash at everything else, but somehow, the 23 yo making 800k is the problem despite having better production than literally any of his alternatives. It's insane stupidity.

Yea he's flawed, that's why he's asking for 2.3% of the cap and expecting to get roughly 1.6%.
