The Stars have four lineup regulars who can become unrestricted free agents July 1. There are intriguing arguments for keeping each or letting them all go.
Kari Lehtonen, 34 years old: The big goalie could be a solid backup and might sign a very team-friendly deal (possibly one year under $2 million), but his struggles down the stretch mirror his struggles when the pressure got highest in previous seasons, and it might simply be time to find a different backup goalie. Lehtonen sits second in franchise history with 215 wins. Marty Turco is first at 262.
