Folks have mentioned when Harley signed, they had been like, ‘Oh, Robertson’s achieved.’ I don’t imagine that. I don’t suppose it’s an A or B. I don’t suppose it’s an both or. I believe when you’re a fan of the Dallas Stars, you already know that they do what they need to do. In the event that they need to get one thing achieved, they’ll get it achieved.

I believe that it’s going to be a problem. The problem, the problem goes to seek out be the candy spot, the quantity. I’m certain they need him to return in beneath (Mikko) Rantanen. And Robertson may need to have an enormous yr and see if that places him over prime.

But in addition, don’t neglect, he’s not a free agent this yr. He’s acquired yet one more yr. So I believe there’s time to type this out. The Stars completely put his title on the market final yr, simply to see. And so they didn’t like something they acquired again. All the gives they mentioned, ‘Nope, Robertson is a greater supply, a greater state of affairs for us than all of those gives.’

So, I’ll take Nill at his phrase that they need to signal him. However I, final I checked final weekend, was nothing was shut.”
