2024-25 General Dallas Stars Talk

[Zapp]

Sounds like Dallas did just kick the tires on Miller and then Vancouver brass told Dhaliwal so they could create an artificial bidding war.



I’m not sure what @Dallasman source said to him but I imagine it was something general that they’re big game hunting, but we won’t know anything until a trade is actually done. Not going to get leaked to us.

Also keep in mind the Stars might view Yanni Gourde as big game.

Canes always going after everybody. They always seem to have prospects that are always good yet never in the NHL lol. Swear we've been hearing about the same guys for years in their system. They got the job done with getting Guentzel, wouldn't surprise me if they get it done here too. Rangers too cause they seem desperate and Canucks seem to have a ton of interest in some of their guys

Seems we always miss out on the big targets these days. Just mostly talk and then other teams pull the triggers. Stars will probably be rumored in on everyone until the deadline

Let's just hope Nill doesn't miss out on his target(s). I'd hate to see his backup plans after the way this summer went lol

Having a crappy prospect pool sucks.

Having a crappy prospect pool sucks.

Having years of almost Cups and and unable to tank years sucks, we know.

It will be Gourde and Savard. Nill will try to sell that’s all he could do cause he did not want to pony up for a true big name. Which based on rumors it’s not hard to beat the rangers offer for Miller.

with benn, duchene, and johnston up this year, Nil/Gags shpuld sell all 3 on deferred contracts to win a Cup. If you can shave ~$4.5m AAV between the 3 of them on the new contracts, then less retention is needed for EK / Jones or dont have to pay to dump Dumba

Bichsel has been recalled.

Time to put an end to the Dumba experiment.

 

[MBTendy]

Not sure what the coaching staff is doing with the offensive lines. Prior to Roope going out, they had a very good thing going. I don’t get why they haven’t gotten back to it.

Robo-Hintz-Daddy
Benn-Duchene-Johnston
Bourque-Steel-Stank


On the defensive side of things. I like that group of 6. They can continue rotating Dumba & Lundqvist until they find a legitimate RD to play 16-20 minutes a night.

I’m good with keeping Miro on the right side. The whole idea of Miro not being able to play to his fullest potential while on his off side is bogus. He’s had plenty of games on the left side this year, and he looks no different. I think it’s safe to finally put that narrative to bed.

I meant in terms of trying to trade assets for Cup runs. We know.

We're in way better shape with young players than most other teams in our position.
