It's one of the biggest questions around the league, as Robertson is a restricted free agent. According to one NHL source, the Stars had offered Robertson a contract of eight years with $12 million AAV, which would match the contract they handed Mikko Rantanen after acquiring the winger from the Hurricanes. Multiple reports have speculated that Robertson could be seeking upward of $14 million AAV -- the same cap number his new agent, Andy Scott, secured for Leon Draisaitl in Edmonton two years ago.

Back in the state of Washington, Lieberg closed his computer for the day and took a walk near the Columbia Land Trust's office in White Salmon, a town surrounded by trees. He pointed out the overgrown bushes and large Douglas firs, a kind of evergreen tree with branches that drape to the ground, near a large A-frame wooden house. "If you think of a fire up the cliff and getting in here, however much these homes cost right now, there is no way that that home is surviving," Lieberg said. Lieberg said if he receives the grant money soon, there might still be time to complete more burns before the hotter months, when it becomes difficult to carry out burns because of the wildfire risk. But the longer he has to wait, the riskier it becomes for the public, because the sticks and twigs that would fuel wildfires keep accumulating. Groups like his have to be allowed to set controlled fires to help reduce that overgrowth quickly, he said. Otherwise, a wildfire might get to the area first. "If all of our stuff burns down before we could do our preventative beneficial fire, this is going to really take on a new level of frustration," Lieberg said. "Because that's why we're trying to do this."
