They’ll have roughly 16 million.
I’d imagine Nill will try to add a top 4 RD, and a couple top 9 forwards.

On the topic of Blackhawks and Stars....
Call me crazy but I don't think it would be the worst idea in the world for the Stars to try and take on Seth Jones if they think Seguin is cooked and if Hawks retain 2ish mil in salary.
Unless I'm mistaken, Jones is RD and Miro, Lindell, and Harley are all LD? He's become a meme but I think Jones is still a fantastic Dman if he's your #3 best D.
I'm not a Stars or Hawks fan so I have no dog in the fight, maybe Stars fans think that's the worst idea they've ever heard but they are plenty deep up front with Bourque still waiting in the wings and a bit thin on the back end.
Rumor floating around about Malkin to Dallas.
Dallas still needs help on defense though.

Servalli, Friedman, Dreger all have them as their favorite to get the biggest prize at the deadline, whatever that may be.

Does it have to be?
Benn& Seguin are at the end of their contracts freeing up lot of money in the next few offseasons

Jim Nill villain arc beginning now. Lost to the Knights in the WCF doing the scam and now we're gonna do it right back.
On the defense side of things, the dream would be Rasmus Andersson (if CGY sells him). Connor Murphy would also be a nice two-run rental.
Offensively, and I know it's crazy to type, but a very trusted Stars source, Sean Shapiro, (who doesn't just float things around) specifically name-dropped Evgeni Malkin in an article this morning as someone he sees Dallas kicking the tires on. I would be shocked if something came to fruition, but if any more smoke starts appearing on that front, you never know..
As for pending UFAs, I could easily see them interested in Granlund to slot into their stacked top-9. Dallas runs three true scoring lines, so a traditional bottom 6-er wouldn't make much sense for them.
I do expect Dallas to be aggressive, though.

I don't know what they'll do, but I do know Canadian fans will whine about it

He would be an ideal acquisition for everyone but Dallas.
Fowler is definitely available. He's not the 1D he's being used as in Anaheim but he's a solid #3 that can play PP2/PK2 and (if necessary) play his off side, but not as good at it. He's probably individually the Ducks best D right now, but the pairs have really meshed well since he's been out (could be the system change too). He's due to be back tonight or Friday so we'll see if it's chemistry or system.
2 years left on the contract, Ducks can retain if needed but that would add to the price.

NYR can retain 50% and then take Dumba lol. Not sure who's worse this season out of those two

You might, so you might to cope with it
I don’t give a crap, not like he’s faking it, or doesn’t have an injury.

Sean Shapiro. Former Stars full-time beat reporter, now jointly covers Dallas and Detroit. He's the most trusted source with legit information that the Stars have. I can't stress enough about how rarely he puts names out there. He doesn't fish for interactions.
Here's the clip from his article this afternoon. Again, nothing concrete, just him relaying something that sources told him (which he hardly ever does).
