Off-season thread

[serp]

I'll say this i think this year with improved forward depth there's more of a chance for a offensively minded prospect to stick even when playing on the 4th line. DeBoer clearly wants every one of his lines to be able to contribute at least somewhat offensively . With Kivi and Glendening that was just not an option for the 4th line last year. Next year that part should be improved enough that even a prospect playing on the 4th line wouldn't be playing on an offensive wasteland

Have we had any prospects (under Nill's tenure) come up and immediately stick besides Heiskanen and Johnston? Nichushkin too, but I think if they could've sent him to the AHL they would have. There were extenuating circumstances there.

He's made pretty much all of them spend at least part of a season in the AHL.

The Stars haven’t given up on pursuing outside help defensively via the trade route, relays Saad Yousuf of The Athletic (subscription link). However, they are prepared to enter next season with what they have now with the hopes that Thomas Harley and Nils Lundkvist can take a step forward in their development to help bolster the depth of their unit. Dallas has been quiet with their back end this summer with their only NHL-related moves being the trade of Colin Miller to New Jersey, the signing of Gavin Bayreuther, and the re-signing of Joel Hanley

I forgot how many people on here had meltdowns after the Wyatt Johnston pick.

Huh I kept a more level head than I thought on Johnston. f***ing hated the Grush pick at that time though.

That draft was tough for the Dallas fan in me.

It was a f***ing slam dunk for the CBJ fan in me.

Good lord I said he's our Radek Faksa replacement

Looking back on it it is kinda funny how a lot of us freaked out about it when we truly had no clue who was good or not especially cause of COVID lol

@Starry Knight was spot on

I was thinking about you guys as a destination for Petry? I think the Penguins would want space and a 3rd liner coming back. Not sure what your projected lineup is at the money to see who that could potentially be?

Marchment?

Pleased to report that I am totally cleared of any wrongdoing after finding my post

I HATED the Johnston pick. After everything I read about him before the draft he really did sound like Faksa/Dellandrea 3.0.

I will gladly eat that one, love the kid. The only good thing that came out of the covid season was getting him, if they had played the season he would have been gone long before our pick.

This gem from that thread. Nice model, bro

 

[Smelling Salt]

Also of note in that thread, @MrHeiskanen was often the voice of reason. Amazing

Imagine trying to stick to a data-driven model in a year when there's no data.

I'd say a lot of good came out of the COVID season for Stars fans. Stanley Cup Final appearance, Johnston, Stankoven, etc

One of the best times to be a Stars fan honestly

 

[catters078]

Ooph, I said we "basically had 3 2nd round picks in this draft"

End up with 2 x top tier 1st round talents lol

Throw me in the freezing cold takes pond for this one too.

 

[WhoahNow]

Us scouts don't get it right 100% of the time

Zadina looking like he is going to get released - could be an interesting guy on a 1 year cheap, prove it deal. Especially if we are moving out some current roster players for an upgrade on the blueline (I wanna believe that this is the plan).
