Ep. 147: Can Wings afford Larkin-Robertson deal?
On the eve of the NHL Draft in Buffalo, the Red Wings are rumored to be in the running for former Little Caesars forward Jason Robertson. Robertson is a 45-goal scorer for the Dallas Stars, who weren't on Dylan Larkin's original list of teams but are perennial contenders. The big drawback? The Northville native is reportedly targeting a $14 million per year contract, equaling the deal by Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl. "He (Robertson) isn't a great skater but he has that Alex DeBrincat knack for scoring goals," Red Wings beat reporter Ted Kulfan said on the "OctoPulse" podcast. "He also plays with better talent and that always scares me when a guy like that comes to a lesser team. Sometimes that doesn't work out to well. "I don't know if that's an exact fit. I think Dallas might want a little more than Dylan Larkin from what I've heard. Would Robertson be thrilled about coming to Detroit? I don't see Steve Yzerman paying $13 or $14 million dollars a year to a player. That seems a little far-fetched right now in my humble opinion."
