Inside the Dallas Stars’ Secret Strategy to Secure Jason Robertson’s Future Forever
Heika: Yeah, and it makes total sense if you can just kind of dissect everything because the Stars couldn’t afford much more than $12 million this year. And so then they talked to him. He talked to them. He thought he was worth more. I think he is worth more in today’s NHL. And, but what was interesting is, what the answer that they came to, which is let’s sign this one year for 12.
It’s interesting is with the way the contracts are going in the summer. I think his arbitration might have been 13 or 14. And so then, had he gone to arbitration and he got 13 or 14, he couldn’t have stayed. And I think he really wanted to stay, which is why I think he signed one year $12 million, which is what they could afford before he even got to arbitration. So I think it’s very clear he wants to be in Dallas. It’s also very clear he believes he deserves the money. And so I think this is the right answer.
