"The 26-year-old shared his thoughts with NHL.com's Mike Heika at training camp, explaining that talks of an extension will likely be waiting until next summer when Robertson is set to become an RFA on July 1. "It doesn't really bother me," Robertson said of the buzz surrounding a potential contract extension in Dallas. "I think what is important is this year for us as a team. The window is open, we're trying to win it this year, and then we'll look at [the contract].""
"Previously, Robertson had said to members of the media during the offseason that talks between his camp and Stars GM Jim Nill had slowly begun to get underway, but neither side is in any rush to get a deal done. After all, the Stars still have control of his rights for another season after next summer. On the management side of things, Nill told reporters that "I don't blame him" for wanting to play out the 2025-26 season before shifting his focus to inking a new deal."
"Despite not being able to train to his full ability during the summer of 2024, Robertson still put up his third straight 80-point season which included 35 goals. He also has two previous 40-goal seasons under his belt, and has cracked the 100-point mark once during the 2022-23 season, earning him fourth-place consideration for the Hart Trophy as the league's MVP."
