2024-25 General Dallas Stars Talk

[Smelling Salt]

I see Bruce has incorporated "Big Bisch" into his vernacular. Good ol' Bruce, always on the bleeding edge

 

[Dallasman]

If it happens, Kadri better be retained...

Retained Kadri + Andersson maybe?

 

[LT]

Assuming Seguin is healthy for the playoffs...

Robertson - Hintz - Johnston
Marchment - Duchene - Seguin
Benn - Kadri - Stankoven
Steel - Bourque - Dadonov
Blackwell, Beck

Heiskanen - Andersson
Harley - Lyubushkin
Lindell - Bichsel
Lundkvist, Dumba, Smith

Oettinger
DeSmith

I would expect Bourque to have to be in a package for both Kadri and Andersson, though.

Talk about crazy. That'd be huge.

 

[serp]

Contract too long. 2-3 years sure but not 5 .

 

[MBTendy]

Contract too long. 2-3 years sure but not 5 .

By year 3, his cap of 7m will be equivalent to 4m now.

Regardless, I hope there is retention, or they’re at least taking back cap back (aka Dumba)

I could live with that lineup… We really need that first line to get going consistently.

 

[Kcb12345]

Kadri fits a lot of needs for us.

Cup winner, clutch playoff performer (at least for the Avs), plays a nasty game. Can score goals. Also a really good playmaker

I'd primarily only want him though if he comes with Andersson too. That contract is ugly for sure though. Do we want to add another big contract for an older guy as soon as Benn's ends? Lol

 

[Elysian]

I'm good with Kadri, and especially if Andersson is a part of the deal. What do we lose though?

Dumba and Smith

 

[jballa95]

My guess is Kadri would be retained down to 5-6 (hopefully 5).

 

[freelancer799]

It's always the waiting game after seeing a rumor like this that kills me the most

 

[roryjones]

Nill is clearly the master of cap space so if kadri is coming (hopefully with Andersson) I assume he has a plan. That being said kadri’s contract as is sucks. Hell why not Kuzmenko? I would even take Coleman as his contract is better and he plays a nasty game.

At the very least dump dumba in the deal.

 

[piqued]

I would pray for another series against Colorado so we could eliminate them with Kadri AND Duchene

 

[Johno]

Shut those damn eyes "jim". We don't need that garbage here.

 

[Kipper 17]

Someone guess what the return will be and we can gauge accuracy based on how many eyes @Dallasman responds with.

 

[Magic Mittens]

Bourque, Lundkvist, Dumba, Hemming, 2025 first

Some kind of combo with the above for Andersson and Kadri

Hopefully no Bischel

 

[Frozen Failure]

OK Santa you better not get us knockoffs this year.

If Coleman comes to Dallas, full circle will have been achieved.

pdb to rangers for quenneville wen

i kid, but only a little.. hard to watch the pp.. and fixing that would be a big boost

It’s crazy because the Stars have had good PP’s the past couple of seasons. It seems like the problem is mostly due to individual players having down seasons.

The last two seasons were the Stars' best PP seasons since they've been in Dallas.

I agree it's probably a player issue for now.

 

[redbeardtx]

f***.

That.

 

[Hockey Dad]

I don’t really have a problem with Kadri. I think he adds an attitude that the team seems to lack. Hopefully some retention comes with him. But that is a long ask for that.

 

[piqued]

On the other hand, if there isn't much retention you could potentially get away with not sending much in return.
