With the NHL Trade Deadline coming to a close this afternoon, what realistic options are out there for the Dallas Stars. On today’s episode of Locked On Stars, Joey takes a look at three defensemen that could be on the Stars radar and how likely each would be. Matt Dumba of the Arizona Coyotes, Jakob Chychrun of the Ottawa Senators and Erick Johnson from Buffalo. We also contemplate the possibility that they don’t make a move and what that looks like moving forward. Tonight the Stars face the Anaheim Ducks, a team they have beat twice this season, but the games have been very close. Dallas needs to shut down Troy Terry and young stud Leo Carlsson who have been wonderful against the Stars this season. Plus, the defensive pairs from San Jose need to change if the Stars want to get the most of their defensive pairings. First, bring back Nils Lundkvist and let him play and have a chance to fight to become and everyday player in the playoffs. As usual, the final segment is Shooting Star. Find out who Joey picks to have a big game against the Ducks and break out of a scoring slump.

WTF is Jim Nil doing? GENTSUL was available from Pittsburg and you didn't go get him???? Who else like this is or was available and Nellis doing nothing. Trads Fosgate Delandria and shop Benn….This is a f ing joke Jim Nil!!!!! Let's Go!!
Man, the central is staking up. i really hope we make another deal.
As much I don’t like the Idea. I feel like Dumba would be a good move. He can move the puck well and plays with an edge. And the price is within reach.
We need one more good defenseman. Hak and Suter are hurting us.
Sorry but faksas value is way overstated. His face off ability on penalty killing alone makes him atrocious. If you’re worried about making the cap gymnastics work for a Dman bc fox is the only movable contract that you’re determined to keep?? Stars hampering their own success once again.
Not a trading a 1st for a rental is somehow beneath the stars? So it’s more important to hold on to your hopefully late 20s pick this summer instead of thinking you know what if helps shore up the blue line which was exposed egregiously in the playoffs last year then why wouldn’t you make the move? What are they saying to guys like Pavelski? His best golden years consistently dedicated to the stars. Why not reward that loyalty from the GM who’s all about the loyalty and say yes let deploy the best roster we can to show you Pavelski and Suter and Benn etc that we did all we could as a front office to get the best shot at the big dance
Shooting Star Max Steel just for the revenge factor 😊
If we pick up Dumba there will have to be some reconciliation between him and Pavs.
Edit : Dumba to Tampa.
I doubt that Dumba is very endearing to the team after that playoff hit on Pavelski. I don't think he's worth the potential locker room issues he could bring. After skills, Jim Nill's biggest priority is acquiring players who will be accepted and respected in the locker room. What i'm puzzling over is will Nils sit a second consecutive playoff run on the bench? I don't think that is a wise move if he's healthy. He needs the playoff experience.
Erik Johnson is off the board. he and Gurianov are with Philly now
They got Tanev, who’s the best right shot D on the market. Just bc other teams are loading up too doesn’t mean they need to panic lol
Faksa shouldve been traded as well, I understand he is great on the PK.
However, along with the Tanev move, Nils should've traded Hak and a draft pick for Seeler or Walker or Hanfin, making Lundkvist the 7th dman. Trade Faksa and Dellandrea for some money, and snagged Trenin from the Preds. He's fast and physical which would beef up the 4th line.
Steel and Smith are solid depth forwards. Keep Dadonov on LTIR, once Seguin is healthy bring him back and keep Stank and Johnston together.
