Speculation: 2020-21 Stars Roster Speculation and Discussion Part II

[Ghost of Kyiv]

Lol a defensemen who peaked in the WHL as head scout. That’s a thinker

Hakan Anderson, the greatest scout of all time, stopped playing hockey at 19 and was a professional fishing guide prior to being hired by the Red Wings

Yeah I’m not so sure that’s a common theme in carving out a path to be an NHL scout


No but seriously having some pro experience is typically a pre-req for the guys you see in head of pro scouting. He doesn’t even have pro scouting experience. He’s been in the WHL as an assistant coach and then VP/GM since his playing days.

He worked as a scout for the Stars since 15-16 .

I think the Stars could put up more of a fight than the Preds but its not worth it this year. The team was too injured to do anything major this year . Get everybody healthy and rested up and ready to go for next season .

Stars' playoff run really messed with the perception of the team. They missed the playoffs this year for the same reason they struggled just to get in, and the same reason they lost in the Finals: struggling to score, and lack of intelligent aggression (bottom of the barrel this year in 1st period goals just like last year). Except for Florida, none of their would-be opponents have the issue Calgary and Colorado had last year. Those two teams are the only reason Bowness is credited with "being more aggressive." They had a nice run against bad goaltending.

 

[Johno]

There really isn’t any off-season threads yet so let’s talk here. Jason Robertson with a goal against Finland in the World Championships !

Pretty sweet play by him

knocked the puck down outta mid air

 

[WhoahNow]

Any fins for the Stars to potentially sign?

 

[Captain Awesome]

That ref camera is so cool. It would be great to get more of that.

 

[LT]

Robertson has a very interesting shooting motion. Seems like it makes the shot heavy and more deceptive.

 

[Johno]

Not really.

Watching Conor Garland at the World's with Robertson.. would be a nice add for us.

Garland is why you take the high scoring players out of the CHL regardless of their warts

I know the Yotes are not known to be a smart organisation but i don't see how they're letting Garland go. Maybe if the owner refused to pay money for the RFA's or something .

O Shit, I thought he was a UFA.

This needs to be repeated ad nauseum. If Dallas faced the 2021 version of Talbot backstopping Minnie, they'd probably be done in round 1. He was atrocious against us last playoffs.

 

[NJ Fan 12]

Ryan Shea also makes the team : o

He played for the USA today against Italy but I only got to watch the first period. Any thoughts on his game?
