Imagine three mystery players, player A with nine goals and 35 points in 52 games this season, player B with 19 goals and 57 points in 52 games, and player C leading with 30 goals and 62 points in 53 games. Career stats since 2021.
Player A has 136 goals and 352 points.
Chapter 2: What trade targets are being compared for the Dallas Stars?
B boasts 173 goals and 512 points. C sits at 198 goals and 455 points. Player A is Calgary's Nazem Khadri, aged 35, on a $7 million deal with three years left. Player B is New York Rangers star Artemy Panarin, 34 years old, making $11.6 million as a pending unrestricted free agent.
And Player C, that's the star's own Jason Robertson, just 26, with a $7.6 million salary and restricted free agency ahead. The Rangers are shaking things up after a rough season, sitting Panarin for the games before the Olympic break. General Manager Chris Drury wants a quick roster reset, and Panarin's big contract made it tough. Fans have noticed right away.
Panarin and Robertson crushed Kadri's numbers this year. Stars GM Jim Nill is eyeing moves too, sitting third in the Central Division after chasing the Avalanche early on. Trading Robertson for Panarin, Kadri, or even Ryan O'Reilly and Michael Bunting might tempt some, but it's a bad call for Dallas' future. The Stars don't need a full retool like New York.
Robertson's young, productive, and homegrown. Only trade him if he turns down the best extension offer. Otherwise, keep building around him for the long haul. This episode is supported by our sponsor. See details in the description. Some people meditate. I just lay down with Sully.
