The Dallas Morning News’ Matthew DeFranks takes a look at the contract decisions facing the Stars after the 2018-19 season.
Mats Zuccarello, 31 years old
The small Norwegian winger was the team's key trade deadline acquisition and primary target to re-sign. If the Stars do sign Zuccarello, the 2020 third-round pick they traded to the Rangers becomes a 2020 first-round pick, but the team would retain one of its best playmakers in the postseason.
Jason Spezza, 35
Spezza's $7.5 million cap hit comes off the books following two down seasons when he combined for 16 goals and 37 assists in 154 games.
