Speculation: 2018 Stars Off-Season Thread

[Troy McClure]

When you can't draft or develop, you have to love free agency.

Reminds me of Benn talking to/following Radulov. I assume it's a very similar situation here and I'm sure he, Radulov, and Nill are all talking to Kovy about coming here. Feels like it is unlikely to happen though

 

[BfantZ]

I don’t see why he wouldn’t want to come to dallas . He’s good buddy’s with radulov and there right there in the standings with all the other teams that are supposedly the front runners for him .

Maybe Rads can sell him on the idea they were another scorer away from being good. Maybe Rads can point to the roster to show Kovy there will be a lot of ice time and PP time available for anyone with even a bit of ability.

 

[Kcb12345]

It would be quite the story if we all of a sudden had 3 of our top 6 forwards all on the same team who were hated at one point because they left their teams for Russia.

Not a shock and I don't think a buyout is needed either. Hope he has a bounce back season.

If we aren't in playoff contention this season he could potentially be moved at the deadline too.

I think he will be better too. Not two seasons ago better, but better. And frankly we have no one else to play 2nd line centre (except for ROR *hearteyes*)

If we aren't in playoff contention this season he could potentially be moved at the deadline too.

Sadly, this is a real possibility.

 

[Dynamite Time]

Agree he’ll be better; hope the possibility isn’t something we’ll see this season.

 

[Satan]

If Dallas bought out Spezza, it would be a major indicator that management has no idea what their doing.

I mean, it's not like they've proven to be very competent, but it's a good start.

If Domi was all it took to get chuckles, wonder if Nill was in on that?

What would our equivalent have been. Janmark seems a bit high, Shore , Ritchie too low as comps to Domi.

Galchenyuk is a year younger with 5 seasons under his belt and had 2 , 50 point seasons and 40 plus points in all but one of them . Janmark would definately not be too high of a price .

 

[Smelling Salt]

That's was two players l wanted on the Stars. Damn.

Wait... are you saying Janmark would've been too much to give up for Galchenyuk?

lmao okayyyyyyy

 

[FirstRowUpperDeck]

No, just said he is worth more than Domi.

 

[Satan]

No, just said he is worth more than Domi.

Based on what, exactly?

Max Domi was literally just traded for Alex Galchenyuk lol

 

[Satan]

I find it very hard to believe that Mattias Janmark can be worth more than a younger player that he scored 11 points less than last year.

 

[Kcb12345]

Wish we could've given Bergevin Brett Ritchie + Devin Shore for Galchenyuk.

We may hate on Jim Nill pretty often, but man it could be worse.

Offense:
Benn - Seguin - Radulov
xxx - Spezza - Janmark
xxx - Faksa - Pitlick
Hintz Shore Nichushkin
Extras: Hanzal Ritchie Elie

Lindell - Klingberg
Heiskanen - Johns
Methot - Honka

Goalies:
Bishop
xxx

Lets do Kovalchuk $5m x 3yrs, Hutton $2m x 2yrs. Unsure about the 3rd line wing.

Move Nichushkin up to 2nd line RW and Janmark to 3rd line LW. Then Kovy at 2nd line LW and then we just fill the 4th line RW spot with what we have left. We aren't bringing Nichushkin back just to play him as our 4th line rw.

Yeah, Domi had a terrible season, but it was still probably better than we’ll ever see from Janmark or Nichushkin.

I don't think Nuke is good enough for top 6 minutes (he will be tried there, but won't stick). He doesn't fit the mold of our 3rd line, so he'll be a 4th line player, who might get moved up depending on injuries.

I think he is a better option as our 2nd line RW than any other player on the team. Also has more talent than anyone else in our forward group outside of our top line and maybe Janmark and Faksa. He is likely our best choice there no matter what unless we get another RW through free agency or trade.

Hey Stars fans,

Any interest in the following trades:


Zuccarello+39th
or
Spooner+26th
or
Namestnikov+28th

For Dallas 13th

Namestnikov is the most intriguing of the bunch.

None of the trades are downright awful honestly. Zucc having a year left on his contract isn't ideal though.
