Breaking down Jason Robertson: What he does, what he's worth, and should Stars trade him?
Thirty-five-goal scorers don't grow on trees. Only 25 players reached that benchmark in the regular season, including Jason Robertson. So when rumors started swirling that Robertson could be on the move — a player who has tallied at least 35 goals three times in the last five years — it gained a lot of attention. After three consecutive Western Conference final eliminations, including two straight against the Edmonton Oilers, the Dallas Stars might feel pressure to make a change. But should that change be moving Robertson, one of the team's leading forwards? For the second straight year, Robertson was capped at 80 points. He hasn't been able to replicate his 46-goal, 109-point campaign for 2022-23. A slow start to this season is part of what held him back. It also contributed to his being snubbed for Team USA at the 4 Nations Face-Off. Whether it was a wake-up call or a spite-fueled run, it got Robertson back on track. Advertisement From Dec. 4 on, when the USA roster dropped, Robertson picked up the pace, after mustering only five goals and 14 points in the first 14 games of the season. He netted 30 goals and 66 points over the next 58 regular-season games, which ranked 10th in that span. At five-on-five, the Stars generated a lot of quality offense in his minutes and outscored opponents 49-37. Red hot Robo 🔥 — Dallas Stars (@DallasStars) April 6, 2025 Robertson's best strength is obvious: his shot. That tends to come with the territory for a player who can score upward of 40 goals in a given season. His shot volume was down compared with past seasons this year, but he still generated a lot of quality chances. He isn't an empty-calorie shooter, in general. Robertson makes the most of his shots by driving to the home plate area in front of the blue paint, and he manages to do that without getting set up by a lot of high-danger passes, either. SPEED DEMON, JASON ROBERTSON! 🤖 — Dallas Stars (@DallasStars) December 9, 2024 What adds to his value is the fact he isn't just a one-dimensional threat. Though he's more of a shooter than a passer, he can still set up his teammates. If Robertson's puck movement can get closer to his 2022-23 levels, he will be more of a dual threat. The Oskar for "HOLY MOLY, WHAT A GOAL!" goes to Roope Hintz and Jason Robertson! — Dallas Stars (@DallasStars) March 3, 2025 Robertson isn't exactly an ace in transition in Dallas, but he doesn't have to be with Roope Hintz on his line, who tends to carry play into the offensive zone. But the winger's impact extends back to the defensive end, where he can be counted on to retrieve pucks at a high rate and break out with control. Those defensive efforts (plus Hintz's impact as his mainstay center) have contributed to a lower expected goal rate against in his minutes in each of the last four years, even when he has been tasked with matching up against the opponents' best. Advertisement Part of what makes the Stars so dangerous is the fact their offense comes in waves. Robertson's a key cog in that, even with Mikko Rantanen in the fold. So why would management change that now? There might be some frustrations surrounding his performance on the biggest stage. Robertson's playoff pedigree has underwhelmed in seasons past. He has scored only 18 goals and 44 points in 56 games, which doesn't live up to regular-season hype. THIRD GOAL IN AS MANY GAMES! 🤖 Jason Robertson gives the Stars some life in Game 5 🚨 — Sportsnet (@Sportsnet) May 30, 2025 That's a problem if the Stars are taking notes from the Oilers and Florida Panthers as the only two teams to go further in the playoffs. Every team needs stars to reach the playoffs, but everyone also needs dawgs to take them to the next level when it matters most. To Robertson's credit, his play this spring was stronger than his four goals and 6 points in 11 games show on the surface. He added a spark off the rush against the Oilers when the team needed it most, and netted four goals in that series when most of the team's offense dried up. Robertson put up a playoff-high 3.75 Game Score while facing elimination and did it while recovering from a sprained MCL. It was far from perfect, but something to build on, especially now that the expectations are a bit different with Rantanen jumping ahead of him on the depth chart. But teams invested in contending might not be able to bet on potential promise, when Robertson's entire body of work speaks louder than his last playoff run — especially not with a new contract on the horizon. In a salary-cap league, decisions around high-caliber players tend to revolve around money. The Stars are getting surplus value out of Robertson's $7.75 million cap hit now, when his market value for the next season projects to be around $10.5 million. But his next contract is bound to be pricier. If Robertson were to be an RFA this summer, Evolving Hockey projects an eight-year extension worth $10.9 million a year, on average. If he were to sign outside of Dallas, that next deal would tick down to a seven-year contract carrying a $10.5 million cap hit. Those numbers could inflate, depending on how this offseason unfolds in a growing cap world. Mitch Marner, Nikolaj Ehlers and Brock Boeser could all reset the value of a top-line winger. So could some of next year's pending free agents, including Kirill Kaprizov, Kyle Connor and Adrian Kempe. And since Roberston will be a year away from unrestricted free agency in 2026, he will have even more leverage with his next contract. Advertisement Even if his salary ask trends up, it should still come in below his projected market value of $12 million over the next seven years (and likely below Rantanen's $12 million AAV, in the case that Dallas considers that to be an internal cap for forwards). It might seem like a high price — even more so now with the narrative circulating that no player with a $10 million-plus cap hit has won the Stanley Cup — but it's one the Stars should be willing to take for two reasons. The first: That flat $10 million figure doesn't account for inflation over the years. Jack Eichel's $10 million was 12 percent of the cap in 2023, when the Vegas Golden Knights won; in 2025-26, that 12 percent equates to a $11.6 million salary. The second: It's a safe bet Robertson will be worth the investment, with his top comparable in mind, including wingers David Pastrnak, Mark Stone and Patrick Kane. Plus, there's a big difference between extending a soon-to-be 26-year-old who's still in his prime versus a UFA closer to 30 — and that's if anyone is actually available in 2026 and beyond, considering how few elite talents make it to the market. The issue for Dallas is that its asset pool is depleted. Among eight forwards, six defenders and two goalies, plus buyout and overage fees, the Stars already have over $90 million on the books for next season, with roles to fill. Rantanen's extension, along with Jake Oettinger's, will make it a tight squeeze, and how the team navigates potential extensions with Jamie Benn, Matt Duchene and Mikael Granlund could add even more stress to that cap crunch. So, tacking another $2 million to $4 million onto Robertson's cap hit in 2026-27 and extending restricted free agent Thomas Harley will be tricky. Factor in how few draft picks this team is left with after years of contending (down a first, second and fourth this year, plus a first, third and fourth next), and there is a way to replenish both at once. Trading Robertson alleviates the cap situation and likely brings back a haul to recoup what was lost in trades for Rantanen and Granlund, among others. The Stars have other options here. Management could let a couple of veterans walk this summer. Moving on from Benn could signal a new era. If Wyatt Johnston can be deployed like a top-six center, that could solve the need for a Duchene extension. Maybe there's a way to clear Matt Dumba and Ilya Lyubushkin's cap hits, too, to open up space for more cost-effective defenders. Mason Marchment, a 2026 UFA, could also be moved to add cap flexibility and bring back trade assets in return. Advertisement But none would bring back a haul like Robertson, which is why the Stars should still listen to offers to see if anything clicks. If Robertson is available, there will be interest around the league. Teams that miss out on Marner, Boeser and Ehlers in free agency would likely jump at the chance to add him. The Toronto Maple Leafs, Vancouver Canucks and Winnipeg Jets could look at him to replace wingers who depart in free agency. The Carolina Hurricanes, who added two first-rounders and two thirds from the Stars in exchange for Rantanen, make sense as a landing spot, too. The Canes need more scoring wingers to get over that Eastern Conference final hump and have a lot of cap space to work with. If Marner doesn't sign in Vegas, the Golden Knights are another trade destination. The New Jersey Devils could use more top-six scoring. The Los Angeles Kings need more high-octane offense, too, and could take a more aggressive approach this summer to find it. After clearing Chris Kreider's salary, the New York Rangers are another potential trade partner. So are the New York Islanders, who are finally under a new front-office direction. Playoff hopefuls such as the Detroit Red Wings and the Buffalo Sabres should be in the mix for Robertson, whose age lines up with their next contention windows. Even rebuilding teams such as the Anaheim Ducks could be in the mix. The Stars haven't won anything yet, so management can't afford to be out of fuel if they have any intention of going further than in years past. And the team can't just run it back and hope for the same result, either. But how much change should the team welcome, and at what cost? Just how much is a player capable of scoring 40 goals worth, and what would moving him do for their Stanley Cup hopes in this window? Those are the questions management has to ask itself this summer when contemplating Robertson's future. — Data via Dom Luszczyszyn, Evolving Hockey, HockeyViz, HockeyStatCards, All Three Zones, The Stanley Cap, CapWages and Natural Stat Trick.

3 best destinations for Stars' Jason Robertson amid growing trade buzz
The post 3 best destinations for Stars' Jason Robertson amid growing trade buzz appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Dallas Stars have some tough decisions to make during the 2025 offseason. Jason Robertson and company failed to win the Western Conference over the Edmonton Oilers back in late May. As a result, they now have to regroup and try again in 2026. Unfortunately, they only have a little less than $5 million in available salary cap space. Advertisement Dallas is watching as key pieces prepare to hit NHL Free Agency on July 1. Veteran forward Matt Duchene is the most notable name potentially going to market. He has proven to be one of the league's best value signings since 2023. Coming off a point-per-game season, however, it's hard to imagine him signing another one-year contract. Another name to watch is Mikael Granlund. The veteran forward provided needed depth after joining from the San Jose Sharks at the NHL Trade Deadline. Granlund should come on a cheaper deal than Duchene. However, he could take up most, if not all, of their salary space by himself. The Stars' need for financial flexibility has sparked trade discussions around Robertson. He is a former 100-point scorer who hits restricted free agency next summer. In 2027, he becomes an unrestricted free agent. He is currently signed at a very favorable cap hit, but Dallas may not have the finances necessary to keep him around. With this in mind, here are three of the best trade destinations for Jason Robertson as rumors continue growing ahead of NHL Free Agency. 3. Buffalo Sabres The Buffalo Sabres have a trade candidate of their own in winger JJ Peterka. Even if Buffalo keeps Peterka, though, Robertson makes sense for this team. Buffalo is looking to shake up its roster, and adding the Stars forward is a major way to achieve that goal. Advertisement The Stars are likely more interested in a hockey trade than a deal for picks and prospects. Buffalo can work with this and make a deal happen to Dallas's liking. For instance, Dallas could seek a puck-moving defenseman to give their blueline a new element. Someone like Sabres restricted free agent Bowen Byram makes sense for Dallas. This is only one scenario. There are a number of different ways the Sabres and Stars could make this work. Robertson gives Buffalo needed scoring punch in the top-six. If they want to make the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs, a move for Robertson needs to at least be considered. 2. New York Rangers Sergei Belski-Imagn Images The New York Rangers traded Chris Kreider to give them some extra salary cap room. However, there are other players they could move to create even more flexibility. If this happens, they are a real contender in the Jason Robertson sweepstakes. Advertisement The Rangers need to find high-end young talent, especially among their forward group. This need is a bit specific to their center depth. However, they certainly wouldn't turn down a chance to acquire a player like Robertson. If the Stars are listening, New York would be remiss if they didn't dial their number. New York could also swing a hockey trade with Dallas. However, it may be a bit more difficult considering the pieces the Rangers have to work with. In any event, Robertson could help turn around a New York team that fell well short of all expectations in 2024-25. 1. Detroit Red Wings The Detroit Red Wings have missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs in each of the last nine seasons. Detroit is facing a ton of pressure to take the next step before its too late. And this pressure is only growing louder as the offseason approaches. Advertisement The Red Wings need a top-six forward like Robertson. He would serve as an excellent complement to young stars Lucas Raymond and Marco Kasper up the lineup. He also fits Detroit's stated target of a young, impact player who can provide value long-term. Detroit faces a bit of difficulty, though, as it can only really offer picks and prospects. In saying this, they have one of the best and deepest pipelines in all of hockey. A good number of these prospects are knocking on the door of the NHL, as well. If the Red Wings can get the Stars on the phone, there may be a deal to be made, even if it isn't the proverbial hockey trade the Stars are seeking.

Red Wings Have Pieces to Make Offer for Stars' Robertson
Detroit Red Wings may have building blocks for a trade involving Dallas Stars' Jason Robertson. Image Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman recently addressed swirling speculation around the Dallas Stars and star forward Jason Robertson. Advertisement On 32 Thoughts, he emphasized that the team is not actively shopping Robertson, who is entering the final year of his contract with two more years under team control, but is instead trying to gauge his true market value ahead of a complex summer. B/R Open Ice (@BR_OpenIce) on X B/R Open Ice (@BR_OpenIce) on X Several NHL insiders are reporting that Jason Robertson's name is on the trade market... What would you want your team to give up for J-Rob? With the 2025–26 season poised to bring a wave of free agents for Dallas like team leader in points Matt Duchene as well as captain Jamie Benn, Mikael Granlund, Cody Ceci, and Evgenii Dadonov. Advertisement The Stars must carefully balance cap space and roster talent or they could run into some serious problems which may leave a struggling Robertson on the outside. Bookmark The Hockey News Detroit Red Wings team site to stay connected to the latest news, game-day coverage, and player features. Friedman added that if Dallas were to entertain serious trade discussions involving Robertson, they would almost certainly seek a return that is close to what they gave up in March for Mikko Rantanen. That blockbuster Rantanen deal cost Dallas a blue chip prospect in center Logan Stankoven, two conditional first-round picks (2026 and 2028), and two third-rounders (2026 and 2027). Advertisement To envision what a Robertson trade might look like, Detroit often comes up in conversation. The Red Wings own a very deep prospect pool, with promising talents like Nate Danielson, Simon Edvinsson and the NHL-ready Marco Kasper, plus they hold four first-round picks over the next three seasons. More Red Wings: Golden Knights' Nic Hague Linked to Red Wings in Trade Rumors The assets closely resemble what Dallas has spent and could give the Detroit front office, a leg up on the rest of the pack. Still, the narrative edges toward the Stars keeping Robertson. The more likely scenario remains extension discussions, with Robertson's market value becoming a key component at the negotiating table. Should a trade eventually be on the table, the benchmark has been set. Dallas would be targeting a least one of the Red Wings top prospects as well as two firsts and two future thirds, which may be a enticing offer for a Detroit team that could get a 90-110 point scorer and has room to grow at 25 years old. Advertisement Robertson posted a career-best 109 points in the 2022–23 season with 46 goals and 63 assists over 82 games, establishing himself as one of the league's elite forwards. He followed it up with back-to-back 80-point campaigns over the last two seasons. Never miss a story by adding us to your Google News favorites.
