So that they’ve acquired a brand new head coach to search out, and there’s seemingly loads of different chatter round them during the last little bit.

Friedman: “Okay, so it has been a wild week round Jason Robertson. I believe all the pieces that was reported through the week about him was correct. I believe Dallas was reeling after their nice wins over Colorado and Winnipeg. Their shock and disappointment on the means they misplaced to Edmonton and the way the final sport unraveled to the purpose the place Peter DeBoer acquired fired. And I believe they let or not it’s identified that they had been going to have to contemplate some issues.
And I don’t assume anyone who reported that there was noise round Robertson was flawed. I acquired a name through the sport on Thursday night time saying that Dallas is dialing this again somewhat bit, and we’ll see. Right here’s why I believe Robertson, his identify was on the market.
Dallas has some selections to make. What they wish to do and the way they’re going to take care of among the selections on their roster. And I believe they wished to have an thought of what was on the market for his or her gamers. And will we make any selections earlier than we all know what a few of these market values had been, and I believe Robertson was a kind of gamers.
And to me, Robertson, I believe they, if he would have gotten traded, it might have been for one among two issues – an ideal participant in return, clearly, or two, may they recoup what they gave as much as get Rantanen. Which might permit them to get draft picks, perhaps get a great younger participant, replenish themselves, and both hold that, all that, and use, and use as a result of they’re actually good at drafting and growing, or, you already know, perhaps transfer it for one thing else, no matter. I believe, I believe there was two issues that was A) can we get an ideal participant for him, or B), can we get, we substitute what we misplaced after we acquired Rantanen.
I believe there’s additionally the query of, what’s his subsequent quantity going to appear to be? Does Dallas really feel that his subsequent quantity may not be a quantity they like? Nicely, judging from what I’m listening to on Thursday night time, I believe Dallas is ready to search out out what that quantity is. Can they make a take care of him?
He’s below contract for yet another season, however he’s acquired two extra years of workforce management earlier than he’s a UFA. He’d be arbitration-eligible for that second yr. He’s eligible for an extension on July the primary. My sense is, primarily based on this data, which got here from one other workforce, is that they’ve form of been instructed Dallas needs to see what his long-term future is with them earlier than they make any selections.

So I believe the Robertson stuff is now on maintain till we determine if he extends or not. That’s my newest replace as of Thursday, nicely, that’s now Friday, Friday morning at 1:56 am about the place I believe this stands.
