The Dallas Stars have reached a one-year contract agreement with forward Jason Robertson worth $12 million. The deal, announced on July 21, allows the team to avoid a salary arbitration hearing that Robertson had filed for earlier in the month. Robertson, who turned 27 the day after the announcement, has been a key player for the Stars since being drafted by the team in 2017. Stars general manager Jim Nill praised Robertson, calling him a cornerstone of the franchise. The contract resolves the standoff between the two sides and ensures Robertson will remain with Dallas for the upcoming season. The high-scoring forward has been a crucial part of the Stars' offense in recent years.
