Dallas Still Hunting Long-Term Deal With Robertson

The Stars' front office isn't ready to give up on locking up Jason Robertson for the long haul, even as the two sides navigate the complexities of a major contract extension. Robertson's emergence as a franchise cornerstone has made this negotiation a priority, but the gap between what Dallas wants to pay and what Robertson's market value suggests remains a sticking point. Getting this deal done would signal the Stars' commitment to building around their young core for years to come.
