Buying time. <\/p>\n
Just a few days before the arbitration hearing between restricted free agent winger Jason Robertson<\/a> and the Dallas Stars, the two sides came to a short-term contract agreement that will end the trade speculation. For now. <\/p>\n Robertson, 26, signed a one-year deal with Dallas for $12 million. There isn\u2019t a signing bonus, which would reduce the owed money if a team acquires him before the 2027 NHL trade deadline. <\/p>\n Per the NHL collective bargaining agreement, a player who signs a one-year deal can re-sign beginning on January 1, which gives the parties a few more months to keep working on a new deal. Dallas currently has about $10.6 million of salary cap space, but Dallas will get a windfall next summer when the salary cap spikes another $9 million, and team stalwart Tyler Seguin\u2019s contract expires. Seguin\u2019s deal carries a $9.85 million hit. <\/p>\n Persistent trade rumors linked Robertson and the Pittsburgh Penguins<\/a>, including a draft weekend report from Sportsnet reporter Elliotte Friedman, who said there was momentum between the Penguins and Dallas, but the deal didn\u2019t get to the finish line. <\/p>\n If Robertson doesn\u2019t re-sign in January, trade rumors will begin again as Robertson will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of his contract. <\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTags: jason robertson<\/a> <\/p>\n Categorized:NHL News<\/a> Pittsburgh Penguins<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Buying time.
