Matthew DeFranks, Stars beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered your questions about the team in a live chat recently. Here are some of the highlights:
Question: Is it somewhat shocking to you that the Stars had a nice free agency haul despite comments from CEO Jim Lites about Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn?
DeFranks: Not really. The Stars had three things working in their favor: 1. They are perceived as a Stanley Cup contender. 2. They had cap space. 3. People like living in Dallas, especially during the winter.
