Jason Robertson\u2019s next deal with the Dallas Stars has become one of the NHL offseason\u2019s biggest stories. Now, two prominent voices of the industry, Jeff Marek and ESPN analyst Greg Wyshynski, are exposing the frustration simmering beneath the stalled talks.<\/p>\n

On The Sheet with Jeff Marek show, they said negotiations between Robertson\u2019s camp and the Stars have turned more emotional than expected. <\/p>\n

Marek was blunt about the mood, saying, \u201cThere is an anger there. Like there\u2019s an anger and a frustration there around Jason Robertson.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marek has picked up frustration across the league over the stalled talks. \u201cI\u2019m sure he\u2019s looking at this and saying like I deserve 14\u2014look at all the goals, measure up my goals against anybody else\u2019s, look at the salary cap going up. So I think that both sides are probably frustrated.\u201d<\/p>\n

His comments underscore how far apart the two sides have drifted on Robertson\u2019s market value.<\/p>\n

Marek added that many insiders thought the deal would already be done: \u201cThe people that I talk to have kind of said like there is this feeling that they thought this would all be done by now, that this would all be wrapped up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Greg Wyshynski: Jason Robertson\u2019s Improved Game Deserves Better Pay<\/p>\n

Wyshynski argued that Robertson\u2019s all\u2011around improvement strengthens his case for a major contract. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe committed himself to off\u2011season training, he battled in the hard areas of the ice and made plays, he was awesome in the playoffs. He was already their best player in the playoffs,\u201d Wyshynski said in that same show.<\/p>\n

He added that Robertson may take the negotiations personally. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd so you do all that and you still get nickel\u2011and\u2011dimed by the team that you\u2019re trying to stay with. That\u2019s kind of insulting, I think, in some ways.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the tension, Wyshynski still believes Robertson and the Stars will reach a new deal.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m team they find a way to make it work\u2026 I am leaning Jason Robertson as a Dallas star when the season begins. That\u2019s where I\u2019m leaning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dallas must find the right balance between paying one of its best scorers and keeping enough money to build a strong team for another Stanley Cup run in the tough Western Conference.<\/p>\n

Robertson\u2019s 45 goals in the last regular season ranked top\u20115 league\u2011wide, and comparable RFAs have signed deals in the $13\u201314M range.<\/p>\n

As per Tim Cowlishaw from Dallas News<\/a>, Robertson is still a restricted free agent, and each week without a deal brings more attention to the talks. The Stars still want to keep their star winger, but the growing debate over his value shows this is no longer a simple contract negotiation.<\/p>\n

What do you think? Can Dallas and Jason Robertson agree on a new contract before training camp, or will this become the summer’s biggest NHL story? Let us know in the comments.\u00a0<\/p>\n
