The 4 Nations Tournament break is over (congratulations to Thomas Harley!) and the Dallas Stars return to action tomorrow evening. What’s more, the trade deadline is just two weeks away, meaning if General Manager Jim Nill has any additional moves to make, he’s running out of time to do so.
Nill has already made a one major move, sending this year’s first round pick and a conditional third round pick to San Jose in exchange for Mikael Granlund and Cody Ceci. Is that enough to push the Stars over the top though? In particular, is the defense good enough?
