2024-25 General Dallas Stars Talk

Karlsson is 35 on a bigger cap hit, but shorter term(less years of retention), I think that is much more realistic. You don't have to pay as much for salary retention and age. What about Jones is more realistic to you?

I just think he'd be of more interest because of his size and how much time DeBoer has spent talking about size this year. From Texas helps too

I will say though, Nill has tried for Burns and Karlsson before, so I guess it wouldn't be too surprising if he tried again for an offensive dman. Not that Jones is that much better defensively

Here's what we learned from Per Pete DeBoer this afternoon from his weekly show on the Ticket:
- Miro went right from the Vegas flight to his MRI yesterday and today flew to NYC to get a second opinion. DeBoer hasn't talked to Miro since the Vegas flight landed.
- The debate is the extent of the surgery he'll need. The range is 8-12 weeks for one surgery or more like six months for another.
- He's hoping Miro will be back before the end of the season.
- He still can't properly pronounce Heiskanen. The Ontario accent is undefeated.
- Says he's thinking about the playoffs and said Bichsel fits the category of being big and physical. Hopes Bichsel will be a big part of their playoff run.

Between Miro and Seguin we have $18,3mil of LTIR freedom. Nill, f*** do the Vegas special

For anyone of primo quality that would be on a potential seller, all would have term on contract, so would be tied to them in future years where IR might not be there.

Unsure how hard he goes with Cap space for UFAs, can't see any available that are that much of a difference maker

Damn we actually do; Seguin is out and may not even be back for the postseason, if Heiskanen is month to month (not season ending injury) and can be back to start the playoffs with Dallas…
 
You guys are getting way too caught up in this.
Going to be another year doing the bare minimum at the deadline and coming up short.

It's already been said he's only after UFAs and the names were rumored to be in on are not going to move the needle.

The Miro injury just further compounds our real needs. The defense needs the most work and we've rumored to be after low impact forwards like Nelson.

imagine going into the PO with a dcore of Dumba, Lyubushkin, Smith and even Lindel, 4 guys that absolutely suck with the puck on their sticks.
add in Nils for his 5mins Deboer will play him. They are going to get eaten alive by the first fast team they play, (Avs likely)

There isn't a ufa d-man available worth a shit.
Hell even some of them with term are bad options (Jones).

Feels like we're screwed...

Miro and Seguin will be half the players they are if they return this year after missing so much time after a surgery.

The amount of cap space we have means nothing when we don't have the assets to make use of it (unless you literally sell the farm, which we know Jim wouldn't do)

What a gut punch.

Could Dallas make a 3 way trade where they use some of their LTIR space for retention to gain some assets to make a different trade. I don’t know the rules.
 
That gives the stars alot more flexibility to get a player with term. Stars will have 26 million in cap space next season to sign Johnston Benn duchene as the big pieces.
 
Benn really needs to take a discount if he wants to stay. Duchene deserves a raise if he continues his play through the playoffs. Don’t forget we have to re-sign Robertson too.

By then that will be another 9 million cap raise which should cover both Harley and Robertson extensions. Also, get about 8 million from Marchment and Dumba contracts so there shouldn't be any worry about covering those extensions.

If there's a time to add a player with term it should be now we can essentially operate at that 95 mil cap this season.

That's an 8.5M per increase for each of the next three offseasons. Nearly a 30% increase over 3 years.

Probably gonna regret not making room for a long-term Harley deal. Desperately need to get Wyatt on an 8-year deal this offseason too. Otherwise their cap hits are gonna skyrocket.

Robertson almost certainly shatters 10M per at this rate, too, assuming he doesn't have another lengthy slump like he did the start of this season.
 
We will see if Gaglardi sets an internal cap. This is what Friedman or somebody was talking about recently.

They suspected that the Avs didn't want to sign Rantanen to that massive deal because the Avs are going to be one of those teams setting an internal cap.

He also said this will give the huge market teams an advantage

I think you're going to see a lot of teams with internal caps.

This isn't the NFL where they print $$$.

I’m sure he will spend to the cap. Always has with no hesitation since he took over. I’m sure he wants Nill or whoever the GM is to be smart with the money however. Not throwing money down the drain on plugs like Dumba.

I also wonder if this is part of the reason Nill is already worrying about the cap in the next few seasons despite it looking like we will have some room (of course, the Harley, Robertson, and Johnston extensions will take most of that I'd assume). Maybe not as much as it looks like but I haven't looked into the details of it

We got the B2B GM of the Year on our side, baby.

He's gonna re-sign the young guys to his standard 8 yr $67.6 million deal, collect one last GM of the Year, and retire. 😎

Everything I see the Stars business is in a very healthy position and will spend big. As for Northland and Tom Gaglardi.. not 100% sure. They still haven't started construction here in Winnipeg of the Sutton Place Hotel that was announced back in like 2013 while three office towers and apartment towers have gone up around it.

They were also building a new hotel by the airport and it took an insane time to complete. Not sure what the business model is exactly, but there was some speculation they self finance everything and refuse to take debt but then projects are slow AF.
