Elliotte Friedman Confirms Stars' Jason Robertson Rumors

"Numerous reports have indicated star winger Jason Robertson is in play for the Stars, and TFP’s David Pagnotta has confirmed that teams have been inquiring about his potential availability and the Stars have been willing to listen," TFP reported.

Multiple sources told Pagnotta the club would prefer to move Marchment, but Robertson had drawn “significant” interest.

Friedman added that while trade discussions were real, the odds of a Robertson deal actually happening are now slim.

“If Robertson was to be moved, it would’ve taken one of two things: either a great player coming back, or a package that helped them replenish what they gave up to acquire [Mikko] Rantanen—maybe top draft picks or a talented young player,” Friedman said.

The Stars seem to have chosen to play the wait game and see where things stand between the organization and the player regarding a possible long-term contract extension.

“So right now, it seems like everything is on hold until there’s clarity on his long-term future in Dallas,” Friedman said.

Robertson only has one year left in his current contract and is coming off another strong campaign with 35 goals and 80 points.

With under $5 million in cap space and multiple contracts expiring next summer, Dallas could still face the reality of needing to trade Robertson.
