insiderrrrrrrrrrrr

meh. He said nothing

 

[Satan]

meh. He said nothing

i`d like to corroborate @Dallasman's report.... ive also received news the Stars will be making moves in the offseason

 

[redbeardtx]

Things everyone would like:
Pavelski extension
Johnston retiring
Harley retiring

Fixed for you

 

[RefalancheStillLose]

Fixed for you

I think nobody wants Pavelski coming back after the last 4months of the season. Unless it's some coaching capacity

landlord capacity works too

It was clearly a joke, lol. I also had Johnston and Harley retiring...

Yeah I saw that after i posted. I had an "I'm so f***ing dumb" moment

 

[Troy McClure]

meh. He said nothing

Only because everyone is missing the actual message. Nill has worked out a trade to be completed at the draft. Johnston for Nichushkin.

can't let that happen

Pavelski retiring
Johnston extension
Harley extension

Things some people would like and some wouldn't:
Duchene extension
Tanev extension

"Most of you will like" makes me think one of the bottom 2 options

Can you confirm whether it's a signing or other news? without confirming the player(s) involved

Not a signing...BUT...some FA news...

Sorry, I shouldn't have said deal in one of my posts. It's not a signing/re-signing but I think a lot of people will be happy/relieved/etc.

Buying out/Retiring Suter

 

[Ratbath]

So Duchene, Pavelski, or Suter then?

 

[starsfan86]

Everyone knows Pavelski is retiring. It’s probably a Suter buyout

 

[MBTendy]

All 3

 

[Dynamite Time]

Buying out/Retiring Suter

Double that!

 

[Spotty 2 Hotty]

It's gonna be crazy when it's Benn retiring and we extend Pavelski.

 

[roryjones]

We are trading Lundkvist for makar. Can’t announce it till Dallas knocks them out after this series tomorrow. The NHL deserves a Miro and cale pairing.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Buying out Suter ain't happening, and for good reason. Dude is still a beast out there as a 5-6. All the haters can suck it.

Regular season Suter half asses his way through 82 games mostly playing to avoid injury and is pretty shitty.

Playoff Suter is quietly the dirtiest MFer on the team and is effective in a format where there are fewer whistles and he's able to use more contact to cheat his way to win puck battles.

And you're right about his role. Check out how much things have changed. All thanks to Harley blossoming and adding Tanev.

22 playoffs 23:38 (2nd)
23 playoffs 23:21 (2nd)
24 playoffs 18:29 (5th)

Dropping him to 6th in ice time would be even better, but I don't think it's possible next season. With Hakanpaa and Tanev leaving as free agents, they're going to have a hard enough time finding two more every day players. Finding three in one off-season is a tall order.

 

[ElGuapo]

I'm completely confused. It's not a signing but free agent news. So someone who will be a free agent will not be re-signed?

The non-trade and non-tampering options are:
- retirement
- RFA extension
- RFA not qualified
- UFA re-signed
- UFA allowed to walk
- Buyout

 

[Troy McClure]

The Stars now have a whole beer league sized roster of scratches.

I guess you can also read into what you will the guys not called up.



Scratches
Dellandrea
Bourque
Blumel
Karlstrom
Back

Lundkvist
Bichsel
Pouliot

Poirier

Injuries
Hintz
Hakanpaa

 

[serp]

Not suprised non of the lesser defensive prospects got called up . They're too far away to be of any help .

 

[Azzuri]

Game 1 will either be Tuesday or Thursday.
