Stars Entering a Very Important Season with Questions Remaining

1. First

2. Dallas diehard since day one. Once we lost Pavelski, we’ve never been able to recover. We’re lacking that leadership and experience he brought.

3. No way Duchene should be on the 3rd line IMO but if he is hes definitely onenof the better 3Cs in the league.

4. Thank you kind sirs for sending Logan Stankoven to the Hurricanes. What an addition.

5. The Twin Towers Bichsel and Myers as a 3rd pairing

6. Short answer, yes.

7. Getting old and the youngsters seem to want to go elsewhere.

8. It's like you bought a nice car, enjoyed it for a few years, and now there are leaks that won't go away and you find yourself in the garage too often. A "pretty good but rarely great" Dallas could become a "average" team – which has potential for a lost year if a top line guy gets hurt.

9. Hyry is not pronounced Huru, its closer to Hewrew, same with Nyman (Newman).

10. Chaos Giraffe

11. They are a team that I would not be surprised if they have a nosedive this year. They keep brining back the same core even though each year they are older and more expensive. I don't understand why people think they are a contender if they were not good enough in past seasons with better teams. Maybe with a healthy Hintz and Seguin they go further in the playoffs but who knows with those players returning how good they will be. As a Robertson fan I hope he moves on as I don't think Dallas has a bright future. They traded so many picks and young players in recent years trying to go all in and it didn't work.

12. I think this year is going to be rough.. we’re going to miss Bourque and don’t get me started on the blue line. Sheesh.

13. I honestly don't know what to expect from this team. Nill has been GM for 13+ years and no Stanley Cups. He just haven't proven how to build a team who is capable of winning it all yet. Since 2019, the only team in the top six of the most playoff wins who hasn't won a Stanley Cup is your Dallas Stars. Not good.

14. "It's thin, It's thin"

15. I think they will be okay long term but could be a down year, the depth isn’t the same it once was and the right side of the d core is still terrible

16. Its all about the injuries but that can be said about every team. If we can stay healthy I like our chances.

17. 6:57

18. I hope so.

19. If they lose again…. especially if the avs finally get revenge on the stars in the postseason…. jim will might be out the door. Robo might also be out the door even if dallas obtains the money to sign him for 15-16 million. Benn is probably gonna retire.The d core as a whole is just bad. That top pair is nice but the rest of it is just brutal. We gotta play the games but this is gonna be an interesting year

20. "looking at this lineup, I'm not scared of this team"
    Well lets look at the lineup
    Johnson
    Rantanen
    Robertson
    Hintz
    Heiskanen
    Lindell (underrated af)
    Otter
    With decent depth

21. I say this all as a fan of this team. I feel like on paper they will still be a 100 point team this season as long as they aren't as injured as last season. However, I don't see them getting past the second round of the playoffs. The only situation I see that happening is if they are a wild card and go through the pacific. Summer 2027 is going to be a cross roads for this organization. Robertson and Bichsel alone will eat up half the teams 41.6 million in cap space. It is imperative that they sign a top six winger and another that is of middle six caliber. If they manage to do that without losing anyone else I think they can still be a threat for the rest of the decade. If they don't then I don't see them even getting back to the wcf with their current core. If they suffer major injuries again this season I don't think they trade any of the rest of their upcoming first rounders to plug holes. This current roster imo is not one that should have draft capital spent on it.

22. DALL-LLLLLLAAASSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

23. Dallas is one of those like Tampa that I wonder when father time is going to catch up to them. Minnesota may have already caught up with them, so Stars fans should pray for more Quinn Hughes drama.
    I do not put much stock in the regular season rankings, except as a general indicator; if a team is in the playoffs, nothing after that is guaranteed. Injuries and the hot/cold of goalies both mean more than regular season rankings.

24. Dallas' problem is the anchors. Seguin and Benn's contracts.
    There will be no cup success until those two contracts disappear.

25. Need to stay healthy and

    Better year from Harley,
    Better year from Oetter,
    Nils to become the offensive powerhouse we've been hoping for,
    Someone tolerable as our 6th D.

    Asking a lot maybe (especially staying healthy) but I can see Dallas being great this year (or falling to 4th/5th in the division)

    Can't wait for the season!

26. Yes, but only for a year. Over $40 million in cap space next season with only Robo to lock up

27. Need depth scoring. Those 2nd line wingers wont cut it

28. How is that a career year for Robertson?? He had 109p in 82gp back in 22-23.

29. Dallas has had a depth problem for years now. Hence the results of the last 3 seasons alone…And this is being a diehard Dallas fan since I was a kid watching their only Stanley cup win.

30. Dallas is at a point where I feel like some improvable things wiuld have to occur in order for them to win a Cup.

31. This team definitely blew their best chance but they should still remain competitive with talented young players

32. Maybe I'm being overly optimistic here, but I believe that if the 5 on 5 improves even slightly, this team can remain among the top 3 in the Central.

33. Benn, Seguin and Duchene need to go. Its time to admit the window has closed.

34. Fun fact: "hoo roo" was the sign off phrase for an old Australian gardening show I watched as a kid 😅

35. How fast has Thomas Harley gone from being overhyped to being under appreciated. He is going to be fine as a 2nd pair defensemen. Lets just do a better job managing our expectations.

36. DALLAS has a FLORIDA PANTHERS problem FLORIDA PANTHERS 2027 BABY…..
