Top to bottom the St. Louis Blues are just another version of the Dallas Stars.

Jason Robertson, signed 1x$12M by DAL, is an elite scoring winger who uses his size and hockey I.Q. to contribute at both ends of the ice. A slow skater who supports the play in transition rather than driving it, with expert positioning and buildup passing. Excellent shot.
wings fans really have to get used to the idea that they're not getting a player like gauthier or johnston or boldy for a 30 year old player demanding a trade with a very small trade list
@heatdaddy69420 Might be Dallas again next year but if not, sources are indicating that he won’t be in Dallas next year. Both parties want to figure out what that means
Thanks for the memories, Robo! If you’re looking at this team and still trying to squeeze $14m out of it per year, cup aspirations are not a priority and signing him at that number would signal as much to the rest of the group. Go get some assets instead

On Jason Robertson, it's parallel tracks for Dallas still, the Stars still trying in talks with his camp to find common ground on an extension; but at same time must continue due diligence on trade market to cover themselves. Could still go either way...
@TylerPaetkau Maybe from fans but why would Nill overpay for a player that’s asked out? Yzerman’s hands are tied because Larkin has control of his destination
Stars need a LW, they already have Hintz & Duchene as C1 & C2 for ~$12.5m and Larkin at $8.7m out of position isn’t favorable
The Larkin rumors are hilarious. Detroit fans are expecting to land the top LW of ‘26 on an 8 year term for a player that’s demanded a trade with a no-move clause. If Larkin ends up in Dallas, it’s not because Robo is headed the other way
