Why Jason Robertson Turned Down Massive Offer From Kraken, Confusing Stars and Maybe Helping Senators
The winger reportedly rejected a contract worth $120 million over eight years as contract talks and trade compensation stalled.
- Dallas Stars winger Jason Robertson rejected an eight-year, $120 million offer from the Seattle Kraken after Dallas granted the team permission to negotiate with the impending RFA.
- With the threat of an offer sheet imminent, the Stars were willing to trade Robertson; Elliotte Friedman reported Dallas and Seattle worked out "some kind of trade" involving a first-round pick.
- Widely viewed as the NHL's best left winger, the 26-year-old Robertson recorded at least 45 goals and 45 assists, positioning him as a franchise player.
- Elliotte Friedman reported Thursday that Robertson and the Stars remain "believed to be at least $2 million apart per season"; neither side nor representative Andy Scott commented.
- Robertson will become a restricted free agent on July 1; he may be hesitant to join the Kraken, which has missed the playoffs in each of the past three seasons.
