Let’s kick off this Thursday by looking at what realistic stats Dallas Stars forward Jason Robertson could have next season. So far we have taken a look at Wyatt Johnston, Jake Oettinger and Jamie Benn. Robertson was a massive catalyst on offense last season providing much of the scoring for the Dallas Stars.
He even passed Mike Modano for most points in a season as a Dallas Star. I think many fans thought that record would probably never be broken. The way he was constantly scoring even got the attention of the national media. Let’s take a deep dive into what he did last season and what he realistically could pull off this season.
Jason Robertson last season put on a show for Stars’ fans and the NHL by dropping 53 goals and 74 assists during the regular season and playoffs combined. Like I mentioned in the paragraph above, it gained the attention of the national hockey media and other media outlets. He was dropping highlight goal after highlight goal. Whenever Pavalski and Sons hit the ice, you knew last season that was going to be the best chance for the Stars to score until they came back on the ice again.
Realisitically if Robertson can remain healthy and the top line is in sync to start the season, I have no doubt he could drop 40-50 goals next season. However, that depends on how Roope Hintz and Joe Pavelski do as well. Both of Jason Robertson’s linemates are really good scorers as well. Don’t be suprised if you see a decrease in Robertson’s stats next season if Hintz and Pavelski go off next season.
In conlcusion, I expect Robertson to come out swinging next season to score goals. The Stars need his offense if they want to be the top team in the Western Conference and the Central Division. We can’t have “playoff Robertson” show up during the regular season. However, knowing that he is well-rested and ready for the season to start, Jason Robertson is going to go off again next season leading the Stars to the Central Division title.
