As the Dallas Stars try to shake off yet another Western Conference Final loss, rumors around one of their biggest stars, Jason Robertson, are beginning to heat up. While the front office hasn’t made any official declarations, NHL insider Jeff Marek believes a decision on Robertson’s future is coming sooner than expected — and it could involve a major shakeup.

Jason Robertson’s contract drama heating up early in the offseason

Jasson Robertson, who still has one year left on his current contract before hitting restricted free agency, is reportedly looking for a deal that reflects his status as a top-tier forward. However, negotiations with Dallas haven’t gone as smoothly as hoped. Jeff Marek said, “I don't think Dallas Stars are going to let the Jason Robertson question linger deep into the summer; they're going to find out pretty quick what number he's looking at.
The Dallas front office is expected to take a hard look at whether they can afford to keep the 25-year-old winger long-term. If not, they may be forced to entertain trade offers — and the Anaheim Ducks are already circling.

Ducks could be the surprise suitor for the Stars’ elite winger

According to Jeff Marek, Anaheim is emerging as a strong candidate to land Jason Robertson should a trade materialize. With their young core steadily improving and plenty of salary cap flexibility, the Ducks could offer the perfect package of promising prospects and financial freedom to match Robertson’s contract demands.
For Anaheim, adding Robertson would be a franchise-changing move. The winger tallied 35 goals and 45 assists last season, cementing his reputation as one of the league’s most complete offensive weapons. With a blend of elite skating, high hockey IQ, and finishing ability, Robertson could be the missing piece that elevates Anaheim back into playoff contention.Also Read: NHL Trade Rumors: Insider dismisses Maple Leafs’ interest in bringing back Nazem KadriMarek believes Dallas won’t drag this situation into late summer.
