Jason Robertson to the Seattle Kraken5 of 7Ryan Sun/Getty ImagesUnlike the other trades on our list, this deal actually was agreed upon between the Dallas Stars and Seattle Kraken.
The Stars were set to accept a pile of first-round picks from Seattle for Jason Robertson who, at the time, was an unsigned RFA one year away from being an unrestricted free agent.
The Kraken reportedly had a sign‑and‑trade framework with Robertson that included an eight‑year extension worth around $15 million per season, but he ultimately declined to waive his clause for the move.
In Robertson's case, he shot down a massive new contract with a team that wanted to acquire him.
For the Kraken, they were left wondering what more they could have done to add a superstar player.
