Agree it will be hard for the Stars to get better by NOT signing one of their primary offensive threats. I am amazed at how well they play without 2 of Hintz, Klinger, and Miro on the ice, not to mention Seguin. That is probably good coaching, as much as many of you hate to say that.
In the last few years, starting with Monty, it seems the Stars are either "on" or "off" their game, with a lower than average % of merely average games. Would love to know a reason for that, but starting last year, in the PO especially, it doesn't always seem to matter who is available. They must preach that, a la, the motto, "Next Man Up." In a season where it could be, "Last Man Standing."
I also think we start to begin noodling on a Robertson parallel to "Beast Mode Benn." If he loses the Calder, JWASRobbed will do for a while. It was a nice steal in OT, and certainly the D man going back had to worry as much about the shot coming from Robertson. He did look really slow coming down the ice there, which worried me until I heard he had been on the ice for 1.40. He was entitled to look gassed.
