Jason Robertson's arrival to the Chicago Blackhawks set to be spoiled by Original Six rival

Elliotte Friedman has recently revealed insight on the Dallas Stars trading away goal-scoring forward Jason Robertson due to him not fitting in the organizations budget anymore.
Robertson's name has been making the headlines for several weeks now, and it appears we're reaching the final few days before the 25-year-old is dealt.
Jeff Marek revealed another update in this case, and it's going down.
"I really do suspect that something will happen with Jason Robertson; it feels like it's going to be sooner than later; Nill has a number in his mind and won't go over it; we might find out quickly; either an extension or maybe a trade" - Marek
The Stars asking price to acquire Robertson quickly linked the Chicago Blackhawks to the goal-scoring forward as an ideal linemate for Connor Bedard, but it appears their longtime Original Six rival are now crushing those hopes.
Detroit Red Wings set to steal Jason Robertson from the Chicago Blackhawks
It appears that the Red Wings are prepared to offer their top prospect in Axel-Sandin Pellikka, their 2023 17th overall, who's quickly become the best defensive prospect that has yet to suit up for an NHL game.
"The hypothetical trade package: Defenseman Axel Sandin Pellikka, forward Jonatan Berggren, first-round pick"
This package would ultimately beat out what the Chicago Blackhawks have to offer, as they are at the point in their rebuild of not wanting to sacrifice future pieces that large.
"If Dallas trades Jason Robertson they want futures in exchange, they want to free up cap space and do a few other things" - Pierre LeBrun, TSN
Comparatively, an offer compared to the one proposed by the Red Wings would see Kevin Korchinski alongside Oliver Moore heading to the Dallas Stars. A certain no for the Blackhawks and GM Kyle Davidson.
