2024-25 General Dallas Stars Talk

[BrettHullsToe]

It's also hard to make a trade right now with a bubble team that hasn't committed to selling yet. At this moment, Calgary is in a playoff spot, so they'd be looking for more of a hockey trade than swapping rentals for futures and cap dumps as in a typical deadline deal.

Was listening to the radio and heard giordano name come up and how he’s still skating and was by 5 on 5 metrics the second best dman on the leafs last season, he wouldn’t be a bad signing only problem is he’s 41 not sure how much he has left in the tank. Could call up bischel sign gio as the defense additions then go all in with the trade assets on forward help.

Everyone here seems obsessed w adding guys with term. Peterson in pit is right sided dman, young and expiring. Kakko is great target low cap, high upside, finn. Also gourde and granlund are primo target bc they are expiring. Expiring guys are cheaper and guys like signing with Dallas after they have been here.

Just saw the kakko trade missing out on that is a giant L

Edit. Also vetrano is a top 6 pp guy who is expiring, ez target

Kakko has no upside.

I guess he’d be a nice upgrade over Blackwell.

No

Wonder what Seattle would want for him

Dadonov too

Kakko has no upside.

Kreider is 33 and falling off making 6.5 for 2 more seasons.

Kakko 23, expiring on 2.3 mil, in the dog house constantly. Underlying numbers look like nuke before he left Dallas.

I want no part of Kreider.

Kakko isn’t what this team needs. They don’t need a checking winger. They need goal scoring. The Stars are already full of defensively responsible wingers who don’t score.

I'm more lamenting we should have been in at the price he went for. Especially if it means clearing a depth dman like Seattle did with borgen

 

[Frozen Failure]

We don't have a Will Borgen to give up.

I think the bigger problem right now is that the only hot line is now very broken, Robertson has no footspeed, and Miro has been very mortal this year. Some of the roster decisions have been very odd.

The motivation isn't there either, and that's a PDB thing I think.

I mean hell, it could be that Benn isn't going to re-sign and they're moping because of that.

Kreider would be fine tbh. He's a playoff performer and has speed to burn. Huge passion and effort guy. No one on the NYR are playing motivated right now. I bet a traded Kreider will light shit up.
