Off-season thread

Is the Bally's $20/month streaming app not an option?

That's what I'm not clear on. The Stars schedule only has TV provider listed for nationally broadcasted games and some random ESPN+/Hulu games. I see packages available for $20/mo for Stars and Mavs, but I'm not clear on if Bally's will be around in October.

There was an article on The Athletic a while back about the Stars’ jersey numbers and how/why they got them. Interestingly - Dellandrea wants to be #53 because it has personal meaning to him, but Johnston was given it. Johnston would be #55 but Harley was given it. I’d assume Harley would be #48 if he could, which is vacant.

Kraken are weird.



Any clip you could pick and you pick this low skill, opposition player getting injured, from a series you lost? f***ing weirdo Admin.

SAD!

Literally any contract that keeps their player in Buffalo is good for Buffalo.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Dahlin is shat.

 

[Troy McClure]

Dahlin was shit, but he's been steadily getting better. He was pretty awesome last season by any measure. If he keeps getting better, he's going to be in the Norris talk.

Ottawa HAS to make the playoffs this season....right???

 

[piqued]

I get that bridge deals are dead and buried and the 2nd contract in general is an endangered species but going from 1 (one) year of NHL play straight to the max is some crazy shit.

 

[serp]

Ottawa now has 5 young guys paid between 7-8.5M . They better start winning something very soon . ALso a glut of well paid veterans and role players. That team has to make the playoffs now imho and be a semi-contender soon-ish.

I was skimming Capfriendly and noticed this, never saw it posted anywhere else so I am the #Insider

BRANDON HALVERSON​

Dallas Stars (Professional Tryout)​

Goaltender​

Estimated Career Earnings

: $497,062​

Makes sense getting in another goalie for training camp since we only have 4 signed this year the guys stats are complete ass lol

 

[serp]

Well Texas has former WHL goalie Bryan Thomson under AHL only contract . I assume he also signs a PTO or ATO and competes in the Dallas camp until the Texas Stars camp opens.

Halverson seems pretty bad. Wasn't even good in DEL2 last season . Looks like a warm body for practise . Nothing more

I mean its the only thing that makes sense and that since he's from Michigan he probably has some connections to Scott White or something.

Found someone to help acclimate Arno perhaps if he was in DEL2?

Would Arno even be going to be Dallas Stars training camp ? He has not signed an ELC so i don't think he would be ?

Edit : Oh you mean the Allen Iverson thing. Yes i know that. My mind wandered to A.I and i got confused

Yeah super unlikely he is there.

The team was shit tho. Like utterly so. They finished last place with a 24 point gap to the second last place. The same difference as between the second last and 5th place.
