Still can't believe Dallas traded Micah Parsons
Let's go Stars! ⭐
Surprised Arttu Hyry’s name is not on your board under Stars’ depth. Interesting selection of Hintz for MVP.
After the last few seasons nothing except the cup will be satisfying for Dallas, hard to say where they end up with a new coach though
Wyatt is def 2C.
Benn has to be 3rd line at best for Dallas' sake.
Put Bourque or Steel or whoever there but Benn is just too slow.
Also, the Stars beat Vegas in 2024. They (Vegas) should focus on getting past Edmonton if they want to represent the western conference in the final.
I have a feeling the Stars will coast for parts of the late season and take this one more “off” than usual. Then again, if they have full seasons from rantenen and Heiskenen that should help too.
My only worries with them are if Gulutzen is the right coach, their depth is enough for injuries, and if their offense can be aggressive enough on the forecheck to punish things similar to what Edmonton and Florida manage to pull off. That last one is the main one for me, considering that’s how they’ve lost in the CF each of the last 3 years: getting physically beaten down.
The Rantanen contract will end up as much of a burden for them as the Seguin one now
Dallas is just like Carolina, two teams that should have had a Stanley cup in the past few years but falls short of the hurdle.
I wonder if they are going to take a step back or not, one the one hand they have Mikko who should give them a massive boost up front but on the other hand they are right at the cap celling so wiggle room is practically impossible if things go wrong. This could be make or break for the Stars.
why's no one talking about cameron schmidt as a top prospect for dallas he looks promising
I don’t really see all the hype for Nill? Some good drafting and some good contracts but none have really helped Dallas win when it matters. Zito actually took one of the worst franchises and has turned them into one of the most dominant franchises in recent history. Dallas was always a good team in my mind in the central I feel they are always top3-4 in the division.
The coaching change will definitely help the Stars if they have to play Edmonton again. DeBoer's style can't match the creativity of McDavid and Draisaitl when they're in the zone. A more dynamic coaching style could help contain them.
I don’t know what to expect from dallas next season. Are they going to go to another conference final? If yes, will they be able to beat edm or vegas? And if yes, will they be able to beat florida? We’ve been stuck with the same teams for the last few years: florida, edmonton, vegas, dallas and carolina. It’s going to get boring at some point, maybe it already did…
what's funny is that I feel like they'd do better against FLorida lol. They had more grit and more depth which matches up better.
I still am deeply uncomfortable with the thought of Benn and Seguin in the top six, even with Johnston. I'm personally expecting Back and Steel to make the step up.
How can you say goaltending isn't an issue? The sample size, the sample size!
Sorry, divisional rival and they beat us, so kinda gotta go the petty route of "We still have more cups and at least our coach didn't crucify his starting goalie after losing"
Hockey season cannot come soon enough
Mental and phsyical health is not holding up all that well as is, truly need some good hockey right now, not quite desperate enough to say we'd willingly watch the Mild though.
Second one to watch is Rantanen
Big question mark at head coach. I'm worried about them taking a step back this season. I don't think the city of Dallas can handle another 26-year old superstar being traded like Robo this calendar year. lol
every time i say this is the year Dallas figures it out and gets to the cup they dont, so this year, they don't make the playoffs. They are weak and over rated. They are maybe at best an 8th place team in the AHL.
Last year 1000% was their best chance, i said it going into the year then they cap strapped them selves even worse 😂
"F*** You it's January!!!" Great reference.
For the Dallas fans who are complaining about Robertson should watch some Toronto games to see what a disappointing Robertson looks like!
I would rather see Duchene on the LW with Johnston and Seguin. Benn-Steel-Bourque, Back-Faksa-Blackwell. Also, you forgot Petrovic. Hemming has signed. His deal slid so he is signed right now through 2027-28.
Didn't have Hyry at forward or Petrovic on defense. Okay. Seems like they would be the earliest call ups. I do think this team takes a step back this year while navigating some cap issues. Next year I think this team excels. I have Benn moving down to the 4th line and Steel moving up along with Back.
In regard to the Nill vs. Zeto thing, Jim Nill has his name on 4 Stanley Cups btw
Would like them to win it all. Don't think they will this season though.
Im curious to see how much ice time Gulutzan gives the 4th line. And hoping its a lot. I don't think Oscar Back lost a puck battle all last season
I didn't know Jordan Kyrou had a brother in the league.
