Mandatory Credit: Chris Jones-Imagn Images Sportsnet's Ryan Dixon named the Seattle Kraken as one of seven potential destinations for Dallas Stars [http://thn.com/dallas] forward Jason Robertson. The Stars might be cornered into a situation where their only possible outcome is to trade their 25-year-old star forward. Robertson is heading into the final season of the four-year, $7.75 million contract he signed following the conclusion of his entry-level deal. Robertson will become an RFA at the end of the 2025-26 season. The Stars made a franchise-altering trade to acquire Mikko Rantanen and signed him to a $12 million AAV contract, but the Stars are now very tight with the salary cap. The Stars have been very keen on re-signing Robertson, but if an agreement is out of the question, the Stars have to look at other possibilities. The Kraken were named alongside the Los Angeles Kings [http://thn.com/la], Carolina Hurricanes [http://thn.com/carolina], Washington Capitals [http://thn.com/washington], Columbus Blue Jackets [http://thn.com/columbus], Detroit Red Wings [http://thn.com/detroit] and the Utah Mammoth [http://thn.com/utah] as the best destinations for the American winger with a career-high of 46 goals and 109 points. "The Stars’ off-season housekeeping included dumping a salary to Seattle, as big winger Mason Marchment — with one year remaining on his deal — was sent to the Kraken for a fourth-round pick. Could that be the precursor to a much more major deal between these squads? As much as any team in the league, it feels like Seattle could use an injection of high-end scoring. Even if the Kraken — deep down in their bones — don’t see themselves as a playoff squad this coming season, Robertson is a player who could help for many years to come. The Kraken — who have ample cap space — hold two first-round picks in both 2026 and 2027. Dealing from that cache could certainly form the basis of a package that might intrigue the Stars," said Dixon in his article [https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/seven-potential-destinations-for-dallas-stars-scorer-jason-robertson/]. Robertson won't be a cheap add or re-signing, but he possesses the skill the Kraken's forward group lacks. The Kraken have ample forward prospects and picks they could send to the Stars to acquire Robertson if they believe he can drastically improve their roster. Should The Kraken Target Jason Robertson?
