Check out what he said, and we'll break it down after:
"According to a well-informed source, the Canadiens spoke with the Dallas Stars earlier, but talks have yet to result in a concrete deal.
Dallas GM Jim Nill has explored trade offers involving left winger Jason Robertson, but he's still hesitant to move him."

This is definitely intriguing.
The Montreal Canadiens Have Officially Negotiated With the Dallas Stars on a Trade
And all signs point to the target being none other than Jason Robertson.
It would make sense, as the Stars need to clear cap space - so a package involving draft picks and prospects (or low-salary players) could interest them.
We know they want to make a move on Mitch Marner, but to do that, they'd likely have to trade Robertson.
At 25 years old, Jason Robertson is a 6-foot-3, 207-pound winger who recorded 80 points in 82 games this season, including 35 goals. He has 394 points (168 goals) in 374 career NHL games.
That's seriously impressive.
In 2023, he had 109 points in 82 games, including 46 goals!
Robertson makes 7.75 million per year through 2026, but he will be a restricted free agent (RFA) after that, so it's not a long-term contract issue.
Where things might get tricky is figuring out how Kent Hughes can acquire a player like Robertson without including names like David Reinbacher - at the very least..
Definitely a story to watch!
