Dallas Stars General Manager Jim Nill has confirmed the club’s strong intention to sign star forward Jason Robertson to a long-term contract this summer. Speaking on NHL Network, Nill revealed that initial discussions began last summer but were deliberately paused to allow Robertson and the team to focus fully on the season and playoffs.
Robertson is recognized as a pivotal player for the Stars, being one of the league’s top scorers and currently in the prime of his career. Nill underscored that securing Robertson’s signature is a top priority for the organization. Despite persistent speculation regarding trade possibilities and potential salary disputes—especially in comparison to Mikko Rantanen’s contract—Jim Nill remains steadfast in his commitment to keeping Robertson in Dallas for the next decade. The Stars view Robertson as an indispensable asset in their pursuit of the Stanley Cup, and lines of communication between the team and the player remain open.
