I'll tell you what needs to go: Free agency will help quite a bit.

Ritchie (6th rounder maybe) Shore (3rd rounder) Elie (meh, throw in piece in a bigger deal), Roussel (UFA), Spezza (meh he could stay probably). Hamhuis will be gone.

That's it. Now fill the empty spots with new and improved kids from our own system and maybe throw in a top 6 winger or 2 acquired through trade or free agency.

Benn-Seguin-Radulov
Dickinson-Spezza/Hanzal-X
Janmark-Faksa-Pitlick
Gurianov-Hanzal/Spezza-X

Time for Nill to stop teasing these kids and keeping them in the AHL for years upon years. Give them a shot, and if they fail to succeed move them on and move more in.

give the stars another year or two, benn will be 29 next year and seguin will be 26 and klingberg 26 they're still in there prime and can compete and be built around them.

I'm down. Fire everyone and rebuild.

Seguin - Top 10 pick/equivalent prospect, 2019 1st, a good young roster player, and a good prospect.

Benn - Top 10 pick/equivalent prospect, a good young roster player, and a good prospect.

Bishop - 1st rounder and cap dump.

Trade Hanzal, Methot, and Spezza at their trade deadlines.

Stars don't need a fire sale (or sake, which pairs naturally with sushi). They have the pillar players that many other teams would love to have. True top notch quality is the goal. Fill in after that. What the Stars need now is better secondary everything.

I don't know how a Stars fan who went through such rough years recently could be interested in a rebuild at all.

Or they could add some secondary scoring. Up front you got Benn, Seguin and Radulov after that it falls off, Dallas needs secondary scoring.

JVR, Stastny Tavares, etc. These guys would help a lot

Add Heiskanen to that group.

They have the franchise/elite talent, they just lack the quality depth badly, and that starts from drafting.

Just for giggles how far does Wennberg+1st+Bjorkstrand/Milano+ Carlsson move the needle for Seguin?

I mean, if he's not going to re-sign here, it's not the worst package. But if I'm trading Tyler Seguin and I can't return PLD, I move on to negotiate with other teams.
