Let’s talk about: Jason Robertson (EDIT: 1st Dallas Star to hit 100+ points in a single season)

Yup as a Florida fan already hate him. Great young player.

My fantasy team is smiling!

Three Robertson brothers, all born in a span of 3 1/2 years. Their parents didn't waste time.

I guess scoring is in their blood.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

If he isn’t right there with Kaprizov on your Calder ballot right now, you have some early season bias on your hands.
He’s been Phenomenal this season.

Next Mark Stone?

Next Mark Stone?

Doesn't really have the same defensive acumen. Offensively it's a pretty good comparison though.

He's certainly not bad defensively though. Getting better every game and making some really smart plays in the D zone

 

[Dynamite Time]

Kid has been on fire. Playing with Hintz who’s a solid two way opens him up to jumping out and creating odd man rushes.

Yea but Stone is Selke level. Robertson is highly unlikely to ever get to that level.

It doesn’t really matter since their offensive games are similar enough.

 

[Erebor]

Best comparison for me is Luc Robitaille, who was not a good skater but thought the game at another level.

 

[Rompane]

Jason Robertson is going to take calder. He is in amazing form and has caught Kaprizov. At the end of the season this will be clear.

 

[serp]

He should be top 3 and "nominated" at least but win it ? I don't know . Stars aren't usually on the guys watchlist who vote on the trophy . ( Wild aren't either but Kaprizov had more hype )

 

[ItWasJustified]

Has Jason Robertson transformed the look of his team? If the answer is no to that question, the answer to your assertion is also no.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

That's not the standard of the award.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I think it's very well possible, unless Kaprizov picks his production up again. Last 5 games have not been great in that regard. Still mostly looks the part, but numbers haven't been great lately.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

See: It’s time to talk about: Jason Robertson

Already a thread discussing this

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

that would be pretty neat. Unheralded coming into the season and he's been one of the best Stars players and had a great start. After all the megahype Kaprizov got early on it will be tough unless he overtakes him by a considerable margin in points.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Yea but Stone is Selke level. Robertson is highly unlikely to ever get to that level.

It doesn’t really matter since their offensive games are similar enough.

I believe Robertson can be very astute defensively, not Stone or Selke level but just under that, yeah.

Also another 2 point night tonight, giving him 32 points in 38gp this year

 

[ItWasJustified]

That's not the standard of the award.

Yes. It is. The most proficient player in his first year.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Yes. It is. The most proficient player in his first year.

Precisely.

 

[serp]

Yes. It is. The most proficient player in his first year.

Robertson very strong rookie season is the reason the Stars still have a realistic chance at a playoff spot despite playing without the #1 goalie #1 center and #RW for the whole season

 

[ItWasJustified]

Precisely.

Yep. The most proficient player is the one who changed his team from being complete trash to being pretty good.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Yes. It is. The most proficient player in his first year.

Unfortunately for Robertson, he doesn’t have the early season voter bias that Kaprizov had.
If you notice, not many media outlets have even discussed what Robertson has done this season, even if it’s been more impressive than Kaprizov.
