Dallas Stars forward Jason Robertson filed for salary arbitration ahead of Sunday’s deadline, per multiple reports. He was one of 15 restricted free agents to do so, making them ineligible to sign offer sheets from other teams.
Robertson’s Career
Robertson is the biggest name on the list after recording a team-high 96 points (45 goals, 51 assists) in 82 games in the final season of his four-year, $31 million contract. Robertson, who turns 27 on July 22, nixed a potential sign-and-trade deal last week to the Seattle Kraken.
Arbitration hearings are scheduled to take place between July 20 and Aug. 1. “The games don’t start until September, and this is part of the contract negotiations,” Dallas general manager Jim Nill said in his news conference after free agency started Wednesday.
