Jason Robertson and Thomas Harley headline the biggest questions for the Dallas Stars heading into the 2025–26 season. What will their extensions look like, and how much should Jim Nill be willing to pay to keep both cornerstone players in Dallas? Ryan and Chris break down Robertson’s value compared to Mikko Rantanen, Harley’s rapid rise on the blue line, and why Harley could actually command more than Miro Heiskanen.
We also dive into Jamie Benn’s evolving role as the Stars’ longtime captain enters a new phase of his career. Is he still a difference-maker, or has he transitioned fully into a glue-guy, leader-first role?
