Jason Robertson’s stellar run with the Dallas Stars just got a fresh start — he’s signed a one-year deal to stay in Dallas, keeping his focus on the Cup while both sides avoid arbitration. The Stars’ GM, Jim Nill, calls him a franchise cornerstone and plans to push for a long-term extension starting January. Robertson, who’s averaged over a point per game and led the team with 96 points last season, wants to stay put and is happy to play out the season with his current team. A potential sign-and-trade to Seattle for a massive 8-year, $120M deal fell through, making this short-term pact the smart move for now — especially as the salary cap rises and the Stars are better positioned to lock him down later.
