A major turn of events in Jason Robertson being traded to Chicago: A new team joins the sweepstakes

Dallas Stars forward Jason Robertson has been at the center of swirling trade rumors for weeks, and now it appears things are heating up again.

While teams like the Chicago Blackhawks have already been linked to Robertson, they might have new competition on their hands.

Indeed, a new report from David Pagnotta suggested many other teams are interested, such as the Calgary Flames:

While he didn't explicitly mention other teams, it's safe to say the Toronto Maple Leafs are in the list. They've been searching for another top-six winger to complement Auston Matthews and John Tavares after losing Mitch Marner to the Vegas Golden Knights.

Jeff Marek also shared comments hinting that the Stars are still weighing big decisions:

The Hawks certainly have the prospect pool to pull off a blockbuster. A hypothetical package could include a first-round pick, a top defensive prospect like Ethan Del Mastro or Kevin Korchinski, and maybe even Landon Slaggert.

It's the kind of price you pay for an elite talent. Robertson, just 25, is coming off an 80-point season and back-to-back 40-goal campaigns. He'd instantly change Chicago's DNA, giving them a lethal combination with Bedard that could terrorize the Central Division for years.

While this is still developing, it feels like we're inching closer to seeing Jason Robertson traded. Whether it's to Toronto, Calgary, or Chicago, expect fireworks soon.
