Sam Nestler of Dallas Hockey Now: The Dallas Stars have re-signed forward Jason Robertson to a four-year contract with a $7.75 million salary cap hit.
“Jason is an integral part of the present and future of our team and we’re thrilled to have him for the next four years,” said Nill. “Since he was drafted by our organization, he has worked tirelessly to become a better player every day. His knack for scoring goals and seeing plays develop on the ice are just some of the tremendous assets that he brings to our team. He is one of the best young players in the NHL and we look forward to seeing him continue to progress.”
Matthew DeFranks: Robertson is expected to fly to Dallas today, have his medicals Friday morning and be on the ice for Friday’s practice.
Bruce LeVine: “Kneejerk reaction: How the Stars got Jason Robertson to sign for less than 8 million per year is downright unbelievable.”
