Does Penguins' depth addition signal a bigger move on the horizon?

But was bringing in Nick really about Nick or was it more about Jason? That's a question only Penguins president of hockey operations and general manager Kyle Dubas knows the answer to, but one that may become clear in the coming days. 

Jason Robertson has already turned down a big contract offer from another team 

Even prior to trading for Nick Robertson, multiple NHL insiders were reporting on the Penguins' interest in landing the 26-year-old Jason. The older Robertson also turned down a deal that would've sent him to Seattle with an annual salary of about $15 million per year, a jump from the offer of $12 per the Stars made him to keep in Dallas. 

With Jason showing money isn't enough to persuade him on its own, perhaps the rare chance to play with his brother, in addition to joining Sidney Crosby and the returning Evgeni Malkin, could put the Penguins over the top as the best fit if he moves on from the Stars.

Robertson would make the Penguins' one of the most dynamic offenses in the NHL 

Despite a need for defense and to shore up goaltending, Jason Robertson could also push the Penguins to contender status. His firepower would make Pittsburgh, a surprising playoff team last season, one of the most dynamic offense teams in the Eastern Conference. 

Jason Robertson recorded 45 goals and 51 assists for 96 points last season, the second-highest point total of his career. He was a +22 and named an All-Star.

In seven years, Robertson has 213 goals, 277 assists and 490 points as he's established himself as one of the top playmakers in hockey. The sky would only be the limit for a player of Robertson's caliber hitting his prime while learning from Crosby.
