Dallas Stars forward Matt Duchene, who was set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1st, signed a four-year, $18 million contract extension today ($4.5M AAV) to remain with the team through the 2028-29 season. Duchene joined the DLLS Stars Podcast to discuss his new contract, why staying with the Stars was so important to both him and his family, plus the outlook of the team going forward.

Glad to have him.
Good to keep Duchy!!
Considering the salary cap issues and future culture and play style change needed to win, I am really confused about this signing. I don't think Nill understands the style of hockey and toughness needed to win a cup these days. Keeping the status quo and current personnel, will result in continuous failure for the Stars. Sorry but I don't agree with this signing or sacrificing Marchment via trade as a result.
I like Duchene a lot. A good God fearing man who loves his Family and Hockey. I’m behind you Matt!
Prove it in the post season, if the Stars make them next year
That Nashville could use a guy like Duchy lol. . . hes been great and if you've tuned into his interviews the last couple years, you'd feel good about his contract extension and how he sees the game. We're going to be battling these next few years and it's exciting!
I was very happy to see you back!
I think Florida needs to give one year to Dallas and then keep winning their cups.
1 year for league minimum
Dutchy!! Heck yeah.
Love Matt Duchene, so glad he’s staying, loved his dedication, passion and positivity. Led the Stars in points in the regular season, was a great frontman speaker and supporter of the young guys! Yeah, he wasn’t hitting the back of the net in the postseason, but he wasn’t the only one, and who knows what’s in the missing page of the story with Coach DeBoer? Will we ever know what was going on? Thanks DLLS for bringing Matt on the episode! 💚⭐️💚
Love that dude. So candid with his responses and gives such good thoughtful answers. Not the typical hockey player generic answers.
Not expecting much if Benn is on team
Wasting another year of the young players on Stars time
I seen nothing from the Captain in this year’s playoffs
