I thought the Stars might have a couple cracks at contending where everything sort of fell into place for 1-2 years: Seguin, Klingberg, and Radulov near the top of their games; Benn still quite effective before dropping off; Bishop providing solid goaltending; Perry and Pavelski still having enough in the tank for a couple seasons to provide secondary scoring; and a few youngsters, led by Heiskanen, hitting their early primes. It was inevitable Benn, Perry, and Pavelski would fall off hard at some point...but so far it looks like Benn is near done, Pavelski is done, and Perry, the worst of the bunch coming into the season, has managed 1 game and after just 31 games last season...might be done too. Appears they are now left with zero secondary scoring. Plenty of time to figure things out of course, but it's pretty ugly right now. Got to be a coaching change soon?
