The NHL offseason is always filled with wild rumors and blockbuster trade proposals, but every so often, an idea surfaces that truly stops fans in their tracks. Imagine, just for a moment, the Dallas Stars parting ways with their offensive superstar Jason Robertson—sending him, of all places, to the Chicago Blackhawks.

It’s a scenario that seems almost too shocking to believe, yet it’s exactly the kind of bold move that could redefine the landscape of the league for years to come.

Recently, Heavy.com floated a jaw-dropping trade proposal that would send Robertson to Chicago in exchange for a package of young talent and high draft picks.

The potential ripple effects of such a deal are enormous, not just for the two teams involved, but for the entire NHL. What would this mean for the Stars’ future ambitions?

How would the Blackhawks look with a proven 40-goal scorer paired alongside their young phenom, Connor Bedard? And most importantly, could Dallas really justify letting go of a player who has become one of the most reliable point producers in the league?

The full details of the trade proposal—and the reasons behind it—might just surprise you.

Could the Dallas Stars really trade Jason Robertson to the Chicago Blackhawks in a massive deal?

It’s the kind of idea that makes fans stop scrolling.

Heavy.com has floated a blockbuster scenario in which the Dallas Stars send Jason Robertson to the Chicago Blackhawks. Here is the full proposal :

«Blackhawks acquire:
Jason Robertson

Stars acquire:
Connor Murphy
Lukas Reichel
2026 first-round pick (Florida)
2026 second-round pick (Toronto)
2026 second-round pick (Islanders)»

The proposed package includes a first-rounder from Florida, plus second-round picks from Toronto and the Islanders.

While trade chatter surrounding Robertson has surfaced before due to his contract value and the Stars’ salary cap situation, seeing his name linked to a rival like Chicago adds another layer of intrigue.

Heavy.com outlines the move as one that could benefit both sides: the Blackhawks get a proven 40-goal scorer to pair with Connor Bedard, and Dallas gains cap flexibility, future assets, and two NHL-ready players.

Why trading Jason Robertson to the Blackhawks would shake the NHL

Robertson has been one of the most consistent offensive forces in the league since breaking out in the 2021-22 season.

Pairing him with Bedard could instantly make Chicago’s top line one of the most dangerous in hockey.

From Dallas’s perspective, adding Murphy would bring a steady right-shot presence to the blue line, while Reichel offers upside as a young forward. The draft picks could also help replenish a prospect pool thinned by recent win-now trades.

Still, moving a player of Robertson’s caliber would be a seismic shift. As NHL.com stats show, Robertson has averaged over a point per game in each of the last three seasons.

One Western Conference scout put it bluntly:

«If Dallas trades Robertson, they better hit a home run with every piece coming back.»

While the trade is purely hypothetical, it underlines the kind of bold moves that could reshape the Stars’ future.

I think if such a deal ever happened, it would mark one of the most talked-about trades in franchise history.
