The 23\u002Dyear\u002Dold winger might be one of the most underpaid players in the NHL.
Robertson has 19 goals and 36 points in 23 games. Only Connor McDavid has produced more points.
“You know what, at this pace, he’ll be happy in three years,” said Robertson’s agent, Pat Brisson. “The cap’s going to go up and he might become a $12-million player.” Plus, they needed the cap space while waiting for their veterans to come off the books. So they offered Robertson a four-year deal, which gave the team financial flexibility in the short term, while also providing Robertson the potential to make even more money in the future.
After scoring just twice in his first seven games, Robertson caught fire and scored 17 goals and 29 points in the next 15 games. At his current pace, he could finish the season with 67 goals and 128 points.Article content That bridge deal is partly why the Stars, who have the best record in the Central Division, were able to sign Joe Pavelski and Mason Marchment . It also has bought them some much-needed time. When Robertson needs a new deal four years from now, Benn and Marchment will be off the books, while Seguin will be a year away from free agency.
