Jason Robertson would likely take substantially more to trade for than Pavel Dorofeyev — think a premium package versus a much lighter one. Based on current projection chatter, Robertson is being discussed as a franchise-level return, while Dorofeyev is more in the “good young scorer” tier.

What the market is saying

Robertson’s projected value has been cited around a $15.6 million eight-year contract level, with multiple reports suggesting Dallas could demand a major haul if it seriously entertained moving him.

For Dorofeyev, the discussion is centered on his restricted-free-agent contract projection and how much of a raise he deserves, not on a blockbuster trade package. That usually points to a much lower acquisition cost than a star like Robertson.

Practical trade gap

A fair shorthand is:

  • Jason Robertson: top-line winger price, likely multiple high-end assets, such as a first-round pick, a premium prospect, and an impact player.
  • Pavel Dorofeyev: lower-cost trade target, more likely a mid-round pick, a prospect, or a smaller player-plus-pick package.

So, in plain English, Robertson would probably cost several times more than Dorofeyev, not just a little more.

Quick read

If you’re comparing “what it took” in trade value, Robertson sits in the star- seller category and Dorofeyev does not. That makes Robertson the far more expensive piece by a wide margin.
