Two weeks ago, we took a look at the Dallas Stars and the questions about netminders for the 2021-2022 season. Dallas does need to move from three NHL goaltenders to two, but in most reasonable cases, the Stars will be able to get everything in order for a cap hit in the $6 million range.
Moving on to the defense, the abundance of talent on the Stars roster is at the point where it needs to be managed to the salary cap. At the top of the list for this year is signing Miro Heiskanen to a new contract and making a decision about where free agent Jamie Oleksiak fits in the team’s future plans.
