Dallas Stars' Trade Offer Revealed for Blue Jackets' Zach Werenski

The Dallas Stars tried to land Norris trophy winner Zach Werenski from the Columbus Blue Jackets. There's been multiple reports surfacing the two sides did discuss a deal but Blue Jackets GM Don Waddel wasn't happy with what the Stars were offering. Waddell and Werenski have since made smoothed the waters and both have released statements stating Werenski isn't going anywhere. That doesn't mean a deal wasn't close to completion. Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reports that the Stars offered Mavrik Bourque and Thomas Harley to the Blue Jackets, in a two-for-one move for Werenski. Waddell declined, Bourque got moved to the Predators, and now the Werenski trade talks are dead in the water. According to Elliotte Friedman on 32 Thoughts, the rejected trade between Columbus and Dallas was believed to be: Thomas Harley and Mavrik Bourque for Zach Werenski. Good trade for the Stars if it went through? — Sam Nestler (@samnestler) July 9, 2026 Werenski, 28, has two seasons left on his contract at $9.5 million AAV, and owns a full no-movement clause until next July, when he'll submit a list of 10 teams he'd approve a trade to. For now, the two sides agreed that Werenski will focus his efforts on winning in Columbus, and trade talks aren't expected to pick back up until the spring, if the Blue Jackets are out of the playoff race. The Stars weren't the only team to make a significant offer for Werenski, as the Toronto Maple Leafs reportedly offered forward Matthew Knies in a package with draft picks and prospects. Werenski stays in Columbus...for now.

Penguins & Stars Continue To Discuss Jason Robertson Trade

The Pittsburgh Penguins continue to pursue Dallas Stars superstar Jason Robertson in trade talks. The two sides have had dialogue for a few weeks now, as Robertson's contract holdout then turned into two vetoed trades to the Seattle Kraken and St. Louis Blues, and after the Penguins acquired Jason's brother Nick from the Toronto Maple Leafs, many feel Kyle Dubas will do his best to reunite his brothers in Pittsburgh. Elliotte Friedman: Re Penguins: I think they had some conversations with Dallas about Jason Robertson - 32 Thoughts (7/6) The Penguins have $16.9 million in cap space, which would certainly be enough rough to add Robertson, without any contracts going back the other way, however, the Stars want some NHL talent in return, and aren't focused on a future-oriented trade offer. Dallas reportedly was Ben Kindel included in the trade, and could even accept Rickard Rakell to make that happen. The Penguins are very reluctant to add Kindel in any trade talks, however, if they know they can acquire Robertson, and sign him to a long-term contract, they're expected to consider it. The Pens also have their 2027 first-round pick, two seconds, and five picks within the first two rounds of the 2028 NHL Draft. Look for Dubas to add a pick in order to get Dallas to accept defenceman Ryan Shea, who they continue to try and pawn off in trade talks. There's a blockbuster brewing for Robertson, who has turned down two trades already, and then followed that up by filing for arbitration. The Stars sound like they're either going to sign Robertson, or trade him to the Penguins at this point.
