Jason Robertson is the best trade idea imaginable for the Buffalo Sabres
Dallas Stars stud Jason Robertson’s name is reportedly out there in trade discussions. A player that has averaged 37 goals per year over the last four seasons, is great defensively, and is only 25 years old sounds like the ideal trade idea for any team, especially the Buffalo Sabres. Is Robertson an elite forward in the NHL? Why would the Stars look to trade him? What would the Sabres have to offer to outbid all the other teams? Sneaky Joe explores whether the likes of JJ Peterka, Zach Benson, and more should be thrown into the mix to try to get Robertson out of Dallas.

Peterka, Byrum and 2 firsts as a minimum.
Peterka, the 9th and one of our high level prospects playing in the AHL.
Benson should be off limits
I like Robertson (don’t like his contract), but that is a lot for one player. I’m still on the sign Peterka (he’s an RFA) and build the defense people! You do that… maybe sign a goalie (I’m not a big UPL believer but he could have a bounce back with better D next year) and a good FA and if you make the playoffs next year… players like Peterka and other will sign for longer years. I know he probably would never sign (unless we offerred 7 years 10 mil a year) but I’d love Ekblad.
No you can get far more and you can make the team better by not trading JJ, Benson and the 9th. Lets say the NYR are willing to give you Schneider and the 12th overall pick for JJ. Or lets say the NJD will give you Johnathan Kovacevic for JJ. Both of these players are Powers D partner. Then you trade Byram maybe to Detroit for Marco Kasper plus something else?
So you just got Kovacevic and Kasper which you just made the team better in 2 deals. Then you go and put a massive offer out there for Sam Bennett. Now you just changed the team with fewer pieces going out for 1 player.
If I am going to go big on 1 player it would be either of the Tkachuk bothers. I am not going to put 2 of my best young players that have a lot of value plus a 9th overall pick for someone who is not a playoff performer. How about Anton Lundell? Look at his playoff performance. David Pastrnak another example. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. Players that come through during the playoffs that is who I will trade a haul for.
Right now you have 2 players that you can trade to really turn this team around. They are Byram and JJ. They will get you a Top 4 RHD and a good winger or center. There are a lot of teams that want Byram and JJ so you see what you can do to trade those 2 players for the best RHD and Top 6 forward you can get. Then target some free agents this would include RFAs as well. Matthew Knies?
I appreciate what youre saying, but Im not including Benson. If Peterka+9+ something else doesnt get it done, i move on
Why get your hopes up ?? None of these elite players like marner robertson ehlers are not signing here why tf would you sign with the Sabres 😂😂
I don’t see how the proposed trade would help Dallas manage the cap. Peterka is probably going to cost Dallas 7 million plus. Not a lot of cap savings. How about going after Whitecloud on Vegas and a Bryan plus package for Anderson on Calgary.
Robertson is a good player
Jason Robertson wants to play in BUF because…..do go on, Joe.
We'll wait.
He won't come.
Correction- this trade idea is the best imaginable only in your mind.
OTT Drake Batherson for straight up DAL Jason Robertson…get it done Steady Steve
NO
Makes ZERO sense to trade away Benson who is young, on a cheap contract, and will only get better.Robertson is already at his ceiling and is a fine player, but will not be getting "better." We need to acquire more better players without eliminating promising ones.
Not happening 😭
I actually dont think KA is that awful. Some of the mid-lower tier trades he's made have been really good but this is the type of trade I dont trust him to make.
This is the type of trade he's going to overvalue his own players and offer a deal he thinks is pretty great but which Dallas isn't interested in at all.
Benson, Dahlin, Thompson, Power, all no trade list. Benson and Dahlin only 2 Sabres that give 100% every game.
These trade ideas are just getting crazier by the day…please stop sneaky
I was on board until you said Benson's name Joe, that's a hard no
You said the same thing 100 times. Just re-worded it to stretch the video. Stop circling and land the plane already.
So, sounds like by what you are saying, if Buffalo empties the vault to land him, he could walk in a year or two.
If Dallas does trade Robertson it will happen after the Marner deal – and it will be very significant. Are you ready?
It all depends on what other teams offer but I would give them a offer something like this. Byram, Rosen, 9th Overall to Dallas, Robertson to Buffalo. I would throw in Benson if needed but Peterka to me is untouchable
Robertson? Sure. Does he want to come here? If yes, Sabres 2025 1st round pick and Quinn. Nothing more unless they want Samuelson. 😅
Clown WE’RE not getting him stop it.
If Dallas is looking to move Robertson to shed his Salary and create cap space, trading him for Peterka isn’t going to help them much. Peterka will be getting a contract comparable to what Robertson is getting now, PLUS the salary of the player(s) that are going to need to go with him.
Now if we wanna go “CRAZY” here, we could go to “Hopeville” and ask for Robertson and Oettinger for Peterka, UPL, Krebs and Sammy. Plus dangle the 9th overall as an add on or in place of a player.
The easiest thing the Sabres could have done was throw an Offer Sheet at Robertson when they were rumored to be considering it a few years ago.
You are dreaming! The Sabres aren’t getting or going after Robertson. The Sabres we top ten in scoring, they need right handed D man and shutout Defenseman and goaltender. Besides Dallas isn’t trading Jason Robertson.
So in my Sabres NHL25 Franchise I traded Zucker, Benson and Clifton for Robertson. Robertson has been a stud for me since I got him. Granted it’s a video game but just throwing it out there
Peterka & company for Robertson doesn't change Dallas cap situation, here me out would you say yes if we had to take on Tyler seguins contract
Wow, not talking about Elias Pettersson?? You feeling okay DiBiase?
Forget Robertson , Sabre’s just need to hold onto the good players they already have and build around them. Rather than act like an NHL farm team 🙄
