Dallas Stars negotiate contract extension with Jason Robertson

The Dallas Stars are in talks regarding a contract extension for forward Jason Robertson, who is a restricted free agent this offseason. Emily Kaplan of ESPN suggests that the 26-year-old is likely to remain with the Stars, with general manager Jim Nill prioritizing his re-signing. David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period reports that progress has been made in negotiations, although there is interest from teams like the Chicago Blackhawks and New Jersey Devils if talks stall. As salary cap issues persist, the Stars have limited space, which could necessitate trading other players, such as Tyler Seguin, to accommodate Robertson's demands, projected at approximately $14 million. An offer sheet from rival teams is also a possibility if negotiations do not resolve.
