Robertson's Deal Locks Him In
The Pittsburgh Penguins have been at the center of trade chatter surrounding forward Jason Robertson, a player whose recent contract extension with the Dallas Stars has shifted the dynamics of the upcoming season.
Robertson signed a short, team‑friendly deal with the Dallas Stars, a move that effectively removes him from the trade market for the time being. The agreement, reported by Elliotte Friedman, reflects a strategic decision by the Stars to lock in a key offensive piece.
Offseason Moves Across the League
TSN’s Josh Yohe recently broke down which players on the trade block could still shift before the season begins, highlighting that Robertson’s contract makes him a less likely candidate for a move. Meanwhile, Jet Greaves, the Columbus Blue Jackets netminder, remains one of the few arbitration cases still unresolved.
Former Penguins defenseman John Marino has taken his game to the Utah Mammoth, signing an eight‑year contract that signals a new chapter for the blue‑liner. The deal, first reported by Bob Duff, adds a seasoned presence to a franchise looking to build around youth.
In New Jersey, the Devils announced the addition of Anthony Mantha, a veteran forward whose recent signing reshapes the team’s forward lines and adds depth to their offensive arsenal.
