Matthew Beniers said Seattle players took it personally when Jason Robertson turned down a move to the Seattle Kraken.
Dallas had reportedly agreed a trade with Seattle for the 27-year-old forward, contingent on him signing an extension worth $125m over eight years, an average of $15.625m a season. Robertson rejected the offer and stayed in Texas instead, signing a one-year deal worth $12m.
Beniers plays for Seattle in a franchise still winless — the club sits fourth in its NHL division with no points from 33 matches.
