The Dallas Stars and Jason Robertson have not been close to an extension as of last week
Daily confrontation: Elliotte Friedman, when asked if there have been any updates on contract extension talks between the Dallas Stars and Jason Robertson.
Host: “91shayno wanted to ask if there is an update on Jason Robertson now that Dallas is in lockdown Thomas Harley for that rather expensive dollar.
Friedman: “So Shayno, I looked at this last week. The last time I looked at it was last weekend. I was told there was nothing around.” Jim Nill was recently working with one of my friends, Bob Stauffer, and he said our goal is to sign him. And I take Jim Neil at his word. He’s pretty honest.

People have said that when Harley signed, they said, ‘Oh, Robertson’s done.’ I don’t believe that. I don’t think it’s an A or B. I don’t think it’s an either or. I think if you’re a fan of the Dallas Stars, you know they do what they want to do. If they want to get something done, they will get it done.
I think it’s going to be a challenge. The challenge, the challenge will be the sweet spot, the number. I’m sure they want him to come in under (Mikko) Rantanen. And Robertson might want to have a big year and see if that tops him.
But don’t forget that he is not a free agent this year. He has one year left. So I think there is time to fix this. The Stars definitely announced his name last year, just to see. And they didn’t like what they got back. With all the offers they said, ‘No, Robertson is a better offer, a better situation for us than any of these offers.’
So I take Nill at his word that they want to sign him. But I, last time I checked last weekend, there was nothing around.
