How Much Better Is Dallas Now?

[SenzZen]

I feel like Methot should pair with Honka- but we'll have to wait and see how Hitchcock mismanages the roster.

Then Morgan Rielly and Jake Gardiner are #1's.

I'm sorry, I haven't read through the whole thread. Just kinda skimming. But why do the Maple Leafs need to be brought up in a thread about one specific team not even in their same conference?

 

[Aerchon]

I know Dallas had a ton of injuries and lost some guys last year but I was shocked how bad they did.

They already have a good team IMO and addressed their two biggest needs in a significant manner.

The should be in serious conversation for the conference champions next year IMO.

 

[Stephen Gionta]

I think the Stars should be one of the favorites for the 2018 Stanley Cup.

 

[BonAppleTea]

Should probably be a strong contender. The pieces should be there for a good run, but they better not get butchered by injuries again

Getting rid of one of the worst coachs in the league helps regardless of any other moves.

Honka needs to pair with Lindell. Honka's skating and willingness to be on ever breakout is perfect to mask Lindells current weakest point
