Jason Robertson Signs $12M Deal; Stars Eye Long-Term Extension

Jason Robertson has signed a one-year, $12 million contract with the Dallas Stars, successfully avoiding salary arbitration. The deal comes shortly after the team previously considered trading the winger. Celebrating his 27th birthday, Robertson expressed a desire to move past the contentious negotiations. GM Jim Nill confirmed that despite the short-term bridge, the organization's primary goal remains securing Robertson on a long-term contract. He has 490 points in 456 career games.
