Bad contract that Dallas will regret. It sets Robertson up perfectly to get a huge raise after escrow is paid off. Additionally, a third contract at 8 years will take Robertson through his 30s. Maybe with his skating, they would have been better buying up his entire prime and cutting bait before a third contract.
He will cost 12-14 million on an 8 year term that will run through his 30s, when they likely could have bought up a few UFA year by going up to 10 or 11 on a contract that runs through his entire prime and cost controls him against the big jump we will see in the cap.
