Jason Robertson contract standoff with Dallas Stars ends
· Yahoo Sports
Jason Robertson's contract drama with the Dallas Stars is over. For now, anyways.
Robertson, the high-scoring 26-year-old forward, has signed a one-year, $12 million contract with the Stars, the team announced on July 21.

The deal helps player and team avoid arbitration, which the restricted free agent had filed for amid a contract standoff. It also sets Robertson up to be an unrestricted free agent upon conclusion of the 2026-27 season.
His long-term future with the Stars, then, still remains uncertain, but he could sign an extension on Jan. 1, per Elliotte Friedman. Robertson reportedly turned down a deal for $15 million per year with the Seattle Kraken before free agency began.
If Robertson remains in the fold, Dallas figures to be dangerous again. A second-round pick in the 2017 draft, Robertson scored 45 goals and led the Stars with 96 points in 2025-26.
He has three other 80-point seasons under his belt, including a career-best 109 points recorded in 2022-23.
