Two varieties of trade options for the Dallas Stars with Jason Robertson<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Robert Tiffin on Stars Thoughts<\/a><\/strong>: The Dallas Stars obviously have to create salary cap space to re-sign pending RFA Jason Robertson. They\u2019d wish to re-sign Robertson. In the event that they feel they will\u2019t sign Robertson to an enormous deal, they could need to take a look at trading him.<\/p>\n

One option with Robertson could be to trade him for the same, established player \u2013 Ie, a Brady Tkachuk, Dylan Larkin, William Nylander, or Robert Thomas. They could not even be available, and in the event that they are, those teams would likely want the Stars to sweeten the pot.<\/p>\n

A second trade option could be much like the Mikko Rantanen trade, a young player with upside and draft picks. Riskier for the Stars since they’re in a win-now mode. Someone like a Matthew Knies or Mason McTavish wouldn\u2019t give the Stars what Robertson gives them.<\/p>\n

NHL Rumors: Kings, Oilers, Jets, Devils, Blues, Panthers, Stars, and Flames<\/p>\n

To re-sign him, they\u2019ll have to move out some salary. They\u2019ll likely have to move out salary regardless.<\/p>\n

Top forward trade options that the Minnesota Wild could explore<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Michael Russo and Joe Smith of The Athletic<\/strong><\/a>: Trade assets include Jesper Wallstedt, Danila Yurov, Bobby Brink, Daemon Hunt, Charlie Stramel, Hunter Haight, Riley Heidt, Adam Benak, and future first-round picks.<\/p>\n

Ryan Hartman, Joel Eriksson Ek and Jared Spurgeon have 10-team no-trade clauses. Marcus Foligno and Jake Middleton have 15-team no-trade clauses that convert to no-moves on July 1st. Jonas Brodin, Nico Sturm and Yakov Trenin don\u2019t have protection.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s difficult to accumulate top-six centers or wingers. They aren\u2019t offering up Brock Faber, Matt Boldy or Kirill Kaprizov. Who should the Wild at the least call?<\/p>\n

Auston Matthews (Maple Leafs) \u2013 If the Leafs asked for Jesper Wallstedt, he looks like he could handle that market.<\/p>\n

Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier (Devils) \u2013 Reunite the Hughes brothers in Minnesota and never Latest Jersey. Sources say the Wild tried to accumulate Luke Hughes last season. Latest Devils GM Sunny Mehta is unlikely to trade Jack. Hischier is extension eligible, and in the event that they get the sense he won\u2019t extend, possibly they test the trade market.<\/p>\n

Dylan Larkin (Red Wings) \u2013 Five years left at $8.7 million. He\u2019ll be 30 years old by the beginning of next season. Would he waive his no-trade if he\u2019s on the lookout for a change of scenery?<\/p>\n

Robert Thomas (Blues) \u2013 The Blues turned down a trade package of Wallstedt and Yurov on the deadline. Five years left at $8.125 million.<\/p>\n

Brady Tkachuk (Senators) \u2013 A winger and never a middle, but can drive the play. Two years left at $8.2 million.<\/p>\n

NHL Rumors: Minnesota Wild, Winnipeg Jets, and the Florida Panthers<\/p>\n

Vincent Trocheck (Rangers) \u2013 Sources say the deadline asking price was steep. Has three years left at $5.625 million. The Wild likely wouldn\u2019t hand over Wallstedt for him.<\/p>\n
