The Stars have added a top-notch goalie and shored up their defense in the past few weeks, but there’s still much to be done about the forward group.
Dallas has lost Cody Eakin to expansion and could also see the departure of Patrick Sharp, Ales Hemsky and Jiri Hudler via free agency. That means there are still quite a few spots to fill. While Mattias Janmark is on track to return from a knee injury that kept him out for all of last season, the chance that Valeri Nichushkin could return from the KHL (where he is under contract for 2017-18) is very much up in the air.
