From the Daily News Now Network, this is Dallas Stars News Today. Subscribe to keep up with every headline, every game. The Dallas Stars are dominating the Western Conference, and a big reason is star winger Jason Robertson. The 26-year-old leads the team with 36 goals and 79 points in 66 games this season. He's hitting restricted free agency this summer, and general manager Jim Neal called him a top priority to re-sign. Earlier this week, Neal shared on NHL Network that they started contract talks last summer, but decided to pause them. The plan was to focus on a strong regular season and playoffs first, then get a deal done.
What makes Jason Robertson a key player for the Dallas Stars?
Robertson has been one of the league's top scorers all year. Fans in the front office love his impact. He's the first Stars player ever to hit 100 points in a single season. He's also notched at least 35 goals in four of the last five years, making him a cornerstone for Dallas. Signing him won't be simple, though. The Stars have less than $15 million in projected cap space. Any new deal could eat up most of that, forcing tough choices like potential trades to free up room. For now, all eyes are on the ice. The Stars are playoff bound and chasing their first Stanley Cup since 1999. Contract details can wait until after their postseason run. This episode is brought to you in partnership with our sponsor.
