Rangers explore trade for Stars' Jason Robertson ahead of draft
Summary

The New York Rangers are considering trading their No. 5 pick for Dallas Stars' Jason Robertson. Reports indicate that Robertson declined an eight-year, $96 million extension, prompting speculation about his availability. Rangers' GM Chris Drury is under pressure to acquire a player like Robertson, who has scored over 40 goals in multiple seasons. While the Stars need to shed salary, they may seek significant returns, including the Rangers' high draft pick. The Rangers have $25.7 million in projected cap space, providing some financial flexibility for a potential deal.
