Stars and Robertson keeping open line of communication

With roughly a week until training camp begins, Jason Robertson remains without a contract in place for the 2022-23 season.

Plenty has been made on this situation as of late as Robertson is arguably the best player on the Stars roster. The 23-year-old had an incredible 2021-22 season, registering 41 goals and 79 points, setting him up for a big pay day. That big pay day has yet to come, however, though things do seem to be moving in a positive direction.

Less than two weeks ago, the Stars signed goaltender Jake Oettinger to a three-year bridge deal, and as each day passes it feels a similar term deal will be what gets done with Robertson. While the ideal move would be to get him locked up long-term, the two sides are clearly far apart in their asking price. Getting a shorter-term deal done at this point is better than nothing, as they can't afford to be without him for any part of the 2022-23 campaign.
