Sportsnet: Elliotte Friedman on the 32 Thoughts Podcast on Dallas Stars restricted free agent forward Jason Robertson.

“Until I’m proven wrong, my guess is, it comes in around the Pettersson, Barzal, three times $7 million-ish area.

I just don’t think they have the ability to do this deal for term. If they couldn’t do Oettinger for term, then they certainly can’t do Robertson for term, I don’t think. Unless there is another move coming there that I don’t see right now, I wouldn’t expect Robertson right now for term.

My guess is we’re right around the three – seven-ish range (three years at $7 million-ish).”

Marek:

“When you look at there cap space, this is going to put them up against it no matter what happens here. But I think if you go any higher than that, you’re going to have to move a body.

There was someone who mentioned to me that he wouldn’t be surprised if Robertson’s camp was using Kirill Kaprizov as a comparable, and that’s, and that’s a scary number.

Friedman:

“That’s five years.”

Marek:

“That would have to be, absolutely.”

Friedman:

“But that’s a five-year deal. I just don’t. They can’t do that right now. Unless somebody’s going.”

Marek:

“And right now I think if it’s either they can still do it without having to move a body. I think anything higher than that Friedge, they’d have to move somebody.”

Friedman:

“I think that is going to come in around three times seven. My guess.”
