The NHL off-season hasn’t even officially begun, yet the rumor mill is already buzzing with one of the most unexpected storylines in recent memory. Dallas Stars’ dynamic winger Jason Robertson, a cornerstone of the franchise and one of the league’s brightest young talents, has suddenly found his name at the center of trade speculation. With his consistent high-level production and youth, the idea of Robertson being available has sent shockwaves through the league, igniting intense interest from teams looking to make a splash this summer.

As front offices across the NHL scramble to assess their options, the potential for a blockbuster move looms large. The Dallas Stars, coming off another deep playoff run, now face a pivotal moment that could reshape their roster and future direction. Meanwhile, other teams are positioning themselves to pounce, eager to add a proven scorer to their lineup. With so much uncertainty swirling and the stakes higher than ever, all eyes are on Dallas and their star forward as the off-season drama begins to unfold.

Jason Robertson has shockingly been placed on the trade block in Dallas, and now a surprise team in the Western Conference has emerged as a destination.

The NHL off-season is not yet officially upon us, but already we’ve got some shocking reports, with one being that the Dallas Stars are seemingly ready to move on from young superstar Jason Robertson.

At this point in time, it’s unclear if they are actively shopping him or if General Manager Jim Nill is simply taking calls on Robertson for now, but either way, he’s available for the right offer.

This comes on the back of 79, 109, 80 and 80 point seasons from Robertson, who is still only 25-years of age, meaning that if the Stars do move him, the team should get a good return.

Now, NHL Insider Jeff Marek has made a surprise call, revealing that the Anaheim Ducks are a team in play for Robertson, as they could use a proven scorer up front to add to this core, as they’ve already been linked to Mitch Marner as well.

While many still see the Ducks as a rebuilding team, they’ve actually got a great core that could start leading them back towards the playoffs, and while a trade for Robertson would force them to give up a key piece or two of that future, it may be worth it for them to have a proven star to build around.

As of right now, it’s tough to see whether or not Robertson will be traded this summer, as the Stars could use a deal to get some more salary cap room and flexibility while adding some future assets, but for now all we do know is that there are many teams interested in him.
