Good morning from Buffalo with another Robertson update, a Cossa trade, Larkin/Robertson non-update

…

The Stars want to keep Robertson, he wants to stay in Dallas, but they can’t agree on proper value. Robertson wants to play in Dallas for around $14 million per season, the Stars want him at closer to $12 or $12.5 million. … The Detroit Red Wings pulled off their Sebastian Cossa deal on Friday night, sending him to the Utah Mammoth for the No. 23 pick, which Detroit used to draft J.P. Hurlbert.

The Cossa saga is interesting, he always had the physical tools, but seemed to lack the mental makeup and demeanor that Detroit was looking for. The Red Wings essentially tried to tear him down and build him back up, and even after doing that they didn’t like the end product, especially compared to Trey Augustine.

Nothing new to report on the Dylan Larkin front, although it will be interesting today when Steve Yzerman addressed the media after Day 2 of the NHL Draft, which will be his first public comments since the trade reports surfaced two weeks ago.
