Jason Robertson Signs $12 Million Deal with Dallas Stars to Avoid Arbitration Hearing

The deal keeps the winger in Dallas for next season and gives both sides time to work toward a long-term extension.

  • On Tuesday, the Dallas Stars signed superstar winger Jason Robertson to a one-year, $12 million contract, successfully avoiding a scheduled salary arbitration hearing.
  • Negotiations stalled earlier this summer when the team and Robertson could not finalize a long-term extension, prompting the winger to decline a reported $120 million, eight-year offer from the Seattle Kraken.
  • Robertson, drafted 39th overall by the Stars in 2017, recorded 45 goals and 96 points last season. General Manager Jim Nill said Robertson has been "a cornerstone of our franchise" since his NHL debut.
  • This one-year deal bridges the gap until Robertson reaches Unrestricted Free Agency next summer, with both parties eligible to begin contract discussions on January 1st, 2027.
  • With Robertson under contract, the Stars maintain their core roster alongside long-term assets Mikko Rantanen, Roope Hintz, and Wyatt Johnston as they pursue a Stanley Cup after recent playoff exits.
