And to be fair to Hakanpaa, since this usually ends up as a Lundkvist/Hakanpaa cage match where you must take sides, he has been done no favors by this coaching staff's D pairs either.
Obviously Hak would benefit from playing with a puckmoving LHD. And in the small sample of Harley-Hakanpaa (16% frequency) he was fine. But instead it's either Lindell-Hak or Suter-Hak which make no sense and predictably get trapped in their zone forever and bleed shots/chances.

Tanev has been every bit as beastly as advertised. Only Guentzel (who has gone absolutely nuts for the Canes) exceeds his impact as far as acquisitions.

Didn't see this here yet. Tough news, I enjoyed following the tournament.
So who Daddy pushin out to play on the 4th line? Got to be Smith right? Faksa earns his money in the playoffs plus he’s the center and Steel has been an excellent 4th liner. Smith has been a good 4th liner and I expect we see him at some point in the playoffs.

They're probably just gonna go join the one in Buffalo like half a dozen other teams have done. I can't for the life of me figure out why the f*** you'd wanna spend any time in Buffalo, but it is what it is.

I'd assume teams were tired of going to a run down, grimy rural rink in the middle of no where when so many teams are investing in expensive training facilities and practice rinks.

Well regardless I think it's still a positive for the Stars to do it even if the Wings are the only opponent. Detroit always has a serious prospect pool and isn't mailing it in or filling the roster out with scrubs. And there's something to be said for the prospects to travel as a team, put on the jersey, and perform in a simulated game environment even if you're not drawing any terribly serious conclusions from it.
