A new NHL season has finally arrived.
The Dallas Stars will pack up and move operations to Idaho to open Training Camp this Friday, officially turning the page on a 2017-2018 season that ran the full range of emotions. The obituaries of the past season, the analysis of the offseason, and the time fillers in August will now turn into previews for the 2018-2019 season. Those articles will surely come here as well. However, before the wheels touch down and the sticks are unpacked for camp, a statement should be made — and examined.
The Dallas Stars are at a crossroads and the path they venture down this season will almost assuredly dictate the future of the franchise for years to come.
