The Dallas Stars 2024-2025 Season Thread: Win Now, Talk Later

my simple understanding of how the nhl calculates salary is that it is your active roster that matters. so even if a player is hurt, if he's not on LTIR, he still counts against the cap. since I think this is retroactive to Miro's injury, it's the total of all the games he would have played that is the free money. not sure I explained that right, anyway, afaik, for the playoffs you have to be under the cap entering the playoffs but once they start there basically is no cap. if you have a guy on your roster that was hurt and now he isn't, he can play. it'll eventually be called The Mark Stone Loophole

Right--so we should fully expect Miro to play in the playoffs.  Right?

And Seguin too, for that matter.

    What a game last night.  MSG lives up to the hype.  Fantastic venue.  10/10 experience.  Now on a flight back to Dallas to get ready to beat the Buckeyes.

yep!

I wouldn't trade a bag of pucks for Kilingberg.

He seemed like he wanted out the whole time.

buzz is there is likely another move that happened late and could be announced in the next hour or so. there is a reason the team has not officially announced the trades yet

Hey now, i was just reporting what i was reading. And it was correct. They just didn't add anyone else. Doesn't mean they weren't trying. Anywho, I'm happy. 

“I heard there was a time,” Elliotte Friedman said on 32 Thoughts, “That people didn’t think it was gonna get done. I heard at a time that they couldn’t bridge the gap…I heard at one time Dallas was willing to walk away and say, ‘forget it. We’ll go do some other things.’”

With some teams, that might have been a bluff before the team eventually caved in service to getting a big-name player on a big day. But for a team like Dallas—whom Jim Nill emphasized had a great group at forward even before adding Rantanen—it was probably a genuine stance. You don’t win GM of the Year awards by backing down, after all.

The Athletic grading all teams’ mid-season efforts. Stars get A+ for Granlund, Ceci and Rantanen. Fuck it, let’s go grab the Cup.

Had to look, but both granlund and rantonen are rw so no fin line i guess. 
 

but…

robo   Hintz    Rantonen 

 Marchment     Duch       Granlund

benn    Wyatt      Dadonov


is a good looking top 3 lines.  
 

was hoping stankoven could turn into verbeek. Maybe he still will, just not here.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I didn't really expect Stanky to act like a bitch on his way out. He cut ties with Stars social media and hasn't really spoken about the Stars, other than to comment he's going to a team "that wants me." Maybe it's his youth and it being his first time traded, but damn kid, the stars didn't do you wrong. if they had you'd be playing in San Jose. I think he'll actually develop better in the Canes organization - Stars are just too stacked at forward and he got shunted to lower lines. I bet he'll play a line or two higher in CAR. anyway, don't be a baby.

Let's see which line Brindamour puts him on and how he likes that system. Starting to wonder if he's kinda bitchy if things aren't going his way.

honestly, he seems the type. he was the only player I was slightly emotionally invested in that I was willing to part ways with for someone like Rantanen (no-go on the likes of Robo, Roope, Wyatt, Harls, etc). I couldn't put my finger on what it was (beyond the lack of production) that was keeping me from liking him more, and maybe this was it. something fuels his motor - perhaps it's arrogance.

and for the record I am not a kick-them-to-the-curb fan when a player leaves. I still follow a lot of former Stars and watch for them when we play their teams. I'm just a little stunned about Stank's attitude, especially given the reputation of Nill and the Stars front office (Jim Lites aside, lol), I'm gonna guess this was handled in the most professional but also kid-gloves way. I don't take this stance often, but this feels like a "you owe me a thank you" kind of thing and we got a "fuck you!" instead

Carolina fans have chosen the other option. They are pissed off that Mikko wanted to leave. Never mind that their style of play was a bad fit. He was a bad dude! Fuck him!

Six weeks was long enough for him to figure out that he wanted to be somewhere else.

for those unacquainted. As Bob Sturm put it, the Stars have never really had a player like this. I agree with him.

btw, I think Rantanen will do better with the Stars than Carolina because the Stars are a better team. I think Carolina's cup chances are overblown - especially now that they've given up their best player. Their top line is as good as any in the league with Jarvis, Aho, and Svechnikov (and mix in Stanky in there), but it's a HUGE drop after that. Remains to be seen whether Rantanen will be as good or better with the Stars as he was with the Avs.

maybe it's the coffee, but I am AMPED for tonight. Rantanen's debut with the Stars against the Mighty McDavids. Should be awesome.

I happened to look on the Samsung App Store on my tv and they have a native Victory+ app now, so no more streaming from my phone. Hopefully.

Some new short guy scored for the Canes today. 

Happy for him. Hope he flourishes. 

This game is a wet fart so far. Both teams just skating back and forth

I didn’t know we had off until this Friday. What a great time for an extended break for Roope.
