The Dallas Stars are currently operating on "parallel tracks" regarding the future of star forward Jason Robertson, according to Pierre LeBrun of TSN. While the organization remains in active negotiations with Robertson’s camp to secure a long-term contract extension, they are also performing due diligence on the trade market to protect the franchise's interests.
According to LeBrun, the Stars are still attempting to find common ground with the young winger, but the situation remains fluid. The report indicates that the team is exploring the trade market as a way to "cover themselves" in the event that a deal cannot be reached. As of now, the outcome remains uncertain and could go in either direction.
Robertson has established himself as one of the premier offensive talents in the NHL, making his contract status a critical storyline for Dallas. The dual-track approach highlights the urgency for the front office to resolve the situation. No specific trade partners or formal offers have been confirmed at this time, as the team continues to prioritize an extension if a middle ground can be found.
