Cool stars thread. 

We are just posting pictures of players we want in the offseason.

Max Domi & Evgenii Dadonov were two of the best players in the Stars’ playoff run. They wanna come back. Stars want them backReturning both isn’t possible, and there are things to consider: Obviously term & money, but also the domino effect in the lineup https://t.co/EKZoBxlBMd

I don't think we can keep both.

This will hurt.@kforbesy14 is the best in the business
He said he loves the Stars but is ready for a change. Forbes spent 14 seasons with the club and will be remembered for many of his successful video reviews, but he was also a huge part of the coaching staff that did an important job preparing game strategy.
Similarly, he worked very closely with the players by providing video as an ongoing teaching tool throughout the season. No word yet on his replacement, but we’ll keep up with the story going forward.

Robertson is just the second Stars player to be named to the first team. Jamie Benn made it in 2013-14 and 2015-16 https://t.co/At3148aFnp

 

#12

Leon and Conner on the same team has to violate some type of international anti-trust law. 

Would love to see Miro keep growing and make this list next year. 

#13

Ty Walker chicken with the report that Dadonov is signed for 2 more at 2.25 each

Stars signed Dadonov to 2-year extension. $2.25 million AAV

What’s a bigger joke? Connor McDavid getting a 5th place vote for the Hart or Miro Heiskanen finishing 7th in Norris votes? Who does this voting ?! 🤣🤣🤣

Having season tickets to the Texas Stars, I just don't see it with Mavrik Bourque.  70 games, 47 points.  He's pretty small and doesn't seem fast enough to overcome it.

Stats say 5'10", 185 but it sure doesn't seem like it.

So dado means no max right?

With the Dadanov signing, the Stars have approximately $5 million left in salary cap space.It's going to be awfully difficult to re-sign Max Domi to the long-term deal he is looking to get.Expect Max to be on the market on Saturday

I do expect him to hit the market. Someone will pay more than 5 a year. Maybe Toronto? Maybe Nil offers longer time at less money?

2. Max DomiAnother player the Maple Leafs can play anywhere in the lineup. He adds bite, hard work and skating ability that can make him an excellent 2nd/3rd line winger or centre. #LeafsForever

The consensus is that this year is slim pickings in FA. That should drive up the prices. But, the cap only increased by a million. Like us, a lot of the contenders are up against it. Not a lot to go get with. 

I guess we'll see how it shakes out.

#21

What do we need in the draft? I don’t see anything pressing short term. I think we gave up the 1st for somebody and 3rd or 4th for Nils without confirming.

Grab a F? Don’t go retarded and get that goalie.

That would be Nils

The Stars don't have a first round pick in tonight's #NHLDraft. That's because they might have found something better.

Jim Nill said Ben Bishop will be the director of player development for the Stars on July 1. His contract with the Buffalo Sabres will expire. His NHL playing career will officially be done.

guessing we focus mostly on d-men in this draft. might pick up a stray goalie too. of the 5 picks we have I'm betting something like 3 d-men, 1 forward and 1 goalie.

I went to a bunch of games this season, and I don't either.  He is bigger than Stankoven, but not nearly as good.  

The overall talent level on the Texas Stars this season was pretty meager.

Stars sign Craig Smith to a one-year deal.There’s your replacement for Luke Glendening on the 4th line

 

#32
Stars have signed Matt Duchene, Sam Steel and Craig Smith up front, re-signed Joel Hanley. I'm told they're still scouring the trade market.

some high praise from nhl.com

2:40 p.m. ET
Matt Duchene is reportedly going to the Dallas Stars one a one-year, $3 million contract. Duchene was a UFA because the final three years of what was an eight-year, $56 million contract on Friday.

Duchene had 56 points (22 goals, 34 assists) in 71 games with the Predators last season. He set NHL career bests in goals (43), assists (43) and points (86) in 2021-22.

The fact is the Stars are getting a veteran forward who is a known scorer, and adding Duchene gives the Stars a top-nine forward group of Roope Hintz, Jason Robertson, Joe Pavelski, Tyler Seguin, Wyatt Johnston, Jamie Benn, Evgenii Dadonov, Mason Marchment and Duchene.

It's hard to find another top-nine forward group in the NHL that's as good as the one in Dallas.

Missed this being posted yesterday - happening starting today
 

Development camp roster announced with @LoganStankoven , @MSeminoff11, and all six players selected in this years draft. But headliner is Liam Bichsel, who didn’t come last year. Who was you most intrigued by? #TexasHockey

For me, really strong impression from speaking to Lian Bichsel. Very imposing size, great raw toolbox. Seems very mature. Organization is high on him. Still time in his path to the NHL but very easy imagining him being the partner for Miro Heiskanen that Stars fans crave.

 

#43
Domi wasn't looking for a 1/$3 million, that's what he had to *settle* for at the end of the second day of free agency. The numbers he was looking for yesterday were out of the Stars', and apparently 31 other teams', range. https://t.co/BBFGZ4ElYb

Duchene and Domi got the same deal. 1/3

I think I like Duchene better.

Same. Domi's playoff numbers were much better than the regular season but he never seemed to be a good fit with the Stars.

No kidding. I went to 12 Stars games last year. Seven went into OT/Shootout and they only won two of them. 

But I will say that November 23rd Blackhawks game was one of the wildest I've ever seen in 40 years of going to NHL games. Crazy third period.
