Nick Robertson asked about his brother Jason's negotiations in Dallas, gives the most pure and innocent answer
For Leafs hopeful Nick Robertson, he's currently entrenched in the daily grind of training camp with his eyes on the prize - the prize being a roster spot with the NHL club. Meanwhile, his older brother, Jason, is grinding away at the negotiating table with the Dallas Stars, looking for the first big payday of his career.
Nick had a chance to speak with the media after Leafs practice on Wednesday and revealed that he and his brother talk daily, mostly while playing video games online together. However, we're not going to get any insider information from Nick, as he revealed that he and Jason don't talk about money.
"We just talk about where the bad guys are. We don't really talk about his contract."
-Nick Robertson on what he and his brother talk about while gaming
That's just about the purest answer that we could have hoped for from the younger Robertson brother.
The latest on
Jason Robertson, according to reports, is that he and the Stars continue to talk daily and unfortunately there's not much else to report from either side of the negotiating table. I'm sure both sides want Jason playing on opening night, so we'll see where this one goes.
There are some rumours that the Buffalo Sabres have poked around and kicked tires on Jason Robertson, but I doubt the Stars move him after his 40+ goal season.
