According to ESPN, before the start of training camp for this season, new coach Pete DeBoer expressed excitement about managing Robertson. “Listen, I laid awake at night with the excitement of coaching Jason Robertson, 40-plus goals, but he’s not here,” DeBoer said then. “So, you know, until he gets here, I can’t spend any energy on that.”
Additionally on that note, Robertson was excited to say, “We talked about how excited I am to finally get a part of it, and to start this journey together. I’m really looking forward to introduce myself in person and get on the ice and show the coaches what type of player I am.”
Above all, given how essential he is to this team’s scoring and who his current competitors, the Stars were able to sign one of the league’s most valuable players for a great deal.
