Jason Robertson Inks $12M Deal With Stars, Avoiding Arbitration

Jason Robertson has signed a one-year, $12 million contract with the Dallas Stars, successfully avoiding a scheduled salary arbitration hearing. The deal, finalized Tuesday night, secures the forward who led the club with 96 points last season. While rumors had linked Robertson to potential moves, including interest from the Penguins and a reported trade nix to the Kraken, he remains a cornerstone of the Dallas franchise. General manager Jim Nill confirmed the agreement for the upcoming season.
