In order that they’ve received a brand new head coach to seek out, and there’s seemingly quite a lot of different chatter round them during the last little bit.

Friedman: “Okay, so it has been a wild week round Jason Robertson. I believe every little thing 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 recreation unraveled to the purpose the place Peter DeBoer received fired. And I believe they let it’s recognized that they have been going to have to think about some issues.
And I don’t suppose anyone who reported that there was noise round Robertson was fallacious. I received a name through the recreation on Thursday evening saying that Dallas is dialing this again a bit of 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 cope with a number of the selections on their roster. And I believe they needed to have an concept 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 have been, and I believe Robertson was a type of gamers.
And to me, Robertson, I believe they, if he would have gotten traded, it might have been for one in all two issues – a terrific participant in return, clearly, or two, might they recoup what they gave as much as get Rantanen. Which might permit them to get draft picks, perhaps get a superb younger participant, replenish themselves, and both maintain that, all that, and use, and use as a result of they’re actually good at drafting and growing, or, you recognize, perhaps transfer it for one thing else, no matter. I believe, I believe there was two issues that was A) will we get a terrific participant for him, or B), will we get, we change what we misplaced after we acquired Rantanen.
I believe there’s additionally the query of, what’s his subsequent quantity going to appear like? Does Dallas really feel that his subsequent quantity won’t be a quantity they like? Nicely, judging from what I’m listening to on Thursday evening, I believe Dallas is ready to seek out out what that quantity is. Can they make a cope with him?
He’s underneath contract for yet one more season, however he’s received two extra years of workforce management earlier than he’s a UFA. He’d be arbitration-eligible for that second 12 months. He’s eligible for an extension on July the primary. My sense is, primarily based on this info, which got here from one other workforce, is that they’ve form of been instructed Dallas desires 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 work out if he extends or not. That’s my newest replace as of Thursday, effectively, that’s now Friday, Friday morning at 1:56 am about the place I believe this stands.
