Robertson signs 1-year, $12 million contract with Stars

Jason Robertson, a 27-year-old forward, signed a one-year, $12 million contract with the Dallas Stars on Tuesday, avoiding a salary arbitration hearing he had filed for on July 5. Robertson led Dallas with 96 points (45 goals, 51 assists) in 82 regular-season games last season, adding eight points in six Stanley Cup Playoff games. General manager Jim Nill confirmed both sides considered long-term options but ultimately agreed this short-term deal was the best fit given Robertson's contract status and team timing.
