This is funny. I really hope yall wrong and its only 2 years for lyubskhin. I dont even want to learn his name so sorry if its wrong.
Nill said 3yrs in his conference where he cried about the cap after announcing those dealsThis is funny. I really hope yall wrong and its only 2 years for lyubskhin. I dont even want to learn his name so sorry if its wrong.
Main core is still together at least. Only one that really stings is Tanev. Pavs will be missed too, but his tank is empty.This might be some of the largest roster turnover we have had, at least that I can recall.
Out-
Wedgewood
Tanev
Jani
Pavs
Faksa
Ty D
6 players out of 20, or 30% of the roster. With an average career span of about 4.5 years, you would expect 22.5% turnover in an average year, and last year it was less, with 3 off-season acquisitions.
Anything can happen with that amount of turnover.
Roster churn is so sneaky. This is a big season for it, but every season churns multiple names. Here's the list of guys from the Stars bubble Cup run season who are no longer here. Also note how many are also out of the league.This might be some of the largest roster turnover we have had, at least that I can recall.

I was including the regular season roster.Harley was also there. Played a game in the bubble. Polak was not by the way. He didn't return for the bubble .
Just highlights the NHL is young man's game. The Pavs of the world are clearly the exception.Roster churn is so sneaky. This is a big season for it, but every season churns multiple names.

I organized them into a loose lineup to highlight how we're talking a full roster of dudes.
Kiviranta-Pavelski-Radulov
Perry-Janmark-Dickinson
Cogliano-Comeau-Gurianov
Dowling-Faksa-Caamano
Klingberg-Oleksiak
Hanley-Sekera
Polak-Johns
Fedun
Khudobin
Bishop
It's crazy. There are only six guys from that team who are still around: Benn, Seguin, Hintz, Miro, Lindell, and Oettinger. Maybe seven if you want to count Robertson for his three games and taxi squad status.
If the move really is seen as Lyubushkin for Suter, check out the cap numbers.This is funny. I really hope yall wrong and its only 2 years for lyubskhin. I dont even want to learn his name so sorry if its wrong.
Looked like he did fine when he was traded back to TML at the deadline. 3 assist and a +4 in 7 playoff games.If the move really is seen as Lyubushkin for Suter, check out the cap numbers.
Had the Stars kept Suter:
2024-25 $3.65 million
2024-25 zero
2024-25 zero
After the buyout + adding Lyubushkin:
2024-25 $0.783 + $3.25 = $4.033 million
2025-26 $1.433 + $3.25 = $4.683 million
2026-27 zero + $3.25 = $3.25 million
So the Stars changed our their #5 d-man by making the position more expensive and commiting to this guy longer term. This really highlights two things: (1) how much the Stars were eager to pay Suter to go away and (2) how they thought they'd use some of his immediate cap savings to either sign Tanev or find a similar quality replacement.
I also really hope being on a team with better overall team defense and goaltending helps Lyubushkin rebound to the guy he was a couple of seasons ago when he was a quality depth defender.
yeah, i don't get the lybu hate. imo he'll be fine. not tanev, but not a problem.Looked like he did fine when he was traded back to TML at the deadline. 3 assist and a +4 in 7 playoff games.
If he sucks I’m sure Nill will address it during the season. Not too worriedyeah, i don't get the lybu hate. imo he'll be fine. not tanev, but not a problem.
Yeah I wish the term and money for Bush was lower, it is what it is.I just feel like its so inexplicable how bad those deals are. If I had a time machine to make modest changes:
Ghost at his deal instead of Dumba
Lybushkin at 2x2
Sign Harley 5 x 6
Still have 2 to 2.5ish mil to add at the deadline
there's a development camp?Kinda sucks we have no coverage of development camp at all
there's a development camp?
Having just one of dumba/lybu is awful but both Lindell should be in top4 and Harley with Miro is way better even though they are both LDRobertson-Hintz-Bourque
Benn-Johnston-Stankoven
Marchment-Duchene-Seguin
Blackwell-Steel-Dadonov
Heiskanen-Lybushkin
Harley-Dumba
Lindell-Lundkvist
Oettinger
DeSmith
I’m ok with this roster. Still should be a competitive team. We will have some cap room as well if we want to make a trade for the playoffs.
Played with Reilly in Toronto. Why not give it a try and put Miro back on the left.Wait, are they actually planning on playing Lyubushkin with Miro on the top pair? Seems insane
