May 16, 20196 yr We've had a bit of time to lick our wounds and now we start preparing for next season. With the first new signing of the offseason happening today, this seems as good a time as any to start this thread. https://www.nhl.com/stars/news/dallas-stars-sign-defenseman-esa-lindell-to-six-year-contract-extension/c-307421984
May 16, 20196 yr Author just got around to looking at our cap situation going into next season. Rumor is it's going to be raised to $83.5M. we have a ton of free agents. jesus, Nill is going to have his hands full this offseason https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/stars
May 16, 20196 yr Author My take: Spezza - Ship out Zucc - Re-sign with gusto Janmark - re-sign? Ritchie - gtfo Dickinson - give the man a paycheck Lovejoy - lock him up Polak - sign again, to short contract Honka - trade bait Fedun - re-sign Other noteables: - Nuke, while not a FA, will either play out his contract or become trade bait - I don't see Methot returning and Johns will probably stay pending whether he can overcome his headaches or not. - Hanzal would be smart to retire. Buy he'll likely collect another year's worth of pay and then do so, unfortunately
May 16, 20196 yr Lovejoy, Pollack and fedun are a bunch of deadweight non-puck movers. Keep 1 of the first 2 for the pk and bottom line pairing. Methot and johns are non factors as well. Going to need to sign a 2nd pairing d-man that can get the puck out of their own zone.
