2024-25 General Dallas Stars Talk

What about Letang? I'd take him over EK.

Somehow he is leaps worse defensively

Is he actually? I always thought of Letang has an average defender.

Guess I was wrong lol

He WAS for sure. But he's turning 38 in April. His days as a great player are well behind him.

Meant specifically this season. Used to be better for sure, but now the number are ugly to say the least

man i like Kyle Dubas but he's done a horrific job in Pittsburgh

 

[JeffP]

Dumba, high pick or two, decent prospect for Jones
Somehow there's a way to make that a win-win, help them fill out space for the position and require less salary retention while putting picks into their hands

I have no concept of what an underpayment or overpayment would be for an overhyped RHD that needs new scenery for a better overhyped RHD that needs new scenery and is expensive.

but I could see it being ~advantageous for both teams balancing the scales with picks and retention .. obviously not a gm and am biased

Change My Mind

Pretty easy to sell Dumba to Chicago. He'd be the greatest tank commander of all time if he played ~20 minutes per game against elite opposition. Just imagine...

0 accidental wins per 60

Knowing the way the world works, Dumba would turn into a #1 Dman and Jones would look worse than Dumba lol

Looks like JT Miller to NYR is in the works again

Seeing tons of tweets on it. Feels like it may be tonight

 

[Kcb12345]

LeBrun gave us a mention though

 

[piqued]

I mean every player in the league would waive to go here, that's not really news.

I have a feeling Jones will play much better on a team actually trying to win. I can't imagine he has much motivation now with a guaranteed contract, NMC, on a shit team who won't even compete for a playoff spot while he's under contract. But who knows

Another way to look at this... maybe part of the reason he's never on a good team is because he's on the team.

Tbh it feels like management told him they need to compete till Crosby retires. Like how Detroit told Holland to keep going for playoffs when they needed to rebuild.

 

[starsfan86]

Karlsson over Jones

 

[Smelling Salt]

 

[Nikki Potnick]

It's gotten to the point where I get depressed when we score, knowing what's to come.
