The dust has settled, and our tears have dried as the Texas Summer heat melts home ice away in the AAC. As the ’23 campaign fades in the rearview mirror and the Panthers quarrel uselessly at Vegas’ predestined cup, we set our Starry-eyed sights to the offseason. The Stars did well by most accounts, as proven in the fan view by Saad Yousuf’s fan survey last week. Eluding the reach of this team yet is a championship, the only true mark of success in this league. Before getting into our offseason speculation about free agency, it’s important to audit the strengths and weaknesses of the squad to better shape expectations.
