NHL Insider Says "No Reason To Believe" Jason ...
Despite a looming salary cap crunch, insiders expect the Stars to prioritize a lucrative long-term extension for their prolific forward rather than exploring a blockbuster trade.
thehockeynews.comHere’s what’s latest on Jason Robertson’s contract situation:
- As of early 2026, Robertson’s next contract has been a major talking point for the Dallas Stars due to his rising production and the team’s salary-cap constraints. Multiple outlets in 2025–2026 framed his impending deal as the centerpiece of Dallas’ offseason payroll planning.[8][9]
- Analysts in 2026 suggested the Stars would likely pursue a long-term extension rather than trading Robertson, despite cap pressures, signaling that he remains a core building block for Dallas.[10]
- Public reporting through May 2026 indicates the discussions are ongoing, with expectations that Robertson will command a substantial raise from his previous AAV of about $7.75 million, possibly approaching or exceeding the $9–$10 million range on a long-term deal if cap space allows.[5][9]
