The Dallas Stars have added some much-needed depth on the wing by signing Nathan Bastian to a one-year, one-way contract. This move brings a physical presence to the Stars’ lineup, which could be crucial for their upcoming season. Bastian, a 27-year-old forward, has parts of six NHL seasons under his belt, primarily with the New Jersey Devils. Last season, he played in 59 games, scoring four goals and adding six assists, while also contributing 138 hits. Known for his physical play, Bastian averages 223 hits per 82 games, making him a valuable addition to the Stars’ roster. With the Stars already tight against the salary cap, this signing could be their last move in free agency. Bastian is expected to battle for playing time on the fourth line, potentially starting as the 13th forward.
