It’s the Fourth of July, Dallas Stars fans. You know what that means.
First off, it marks the five-year anniversary since Tyler Seguin was traded to the team by Boston in the 2013 offseason. And secondly, it means that it’s another day for general manager Jim Nill to make a big splash.
It’s never really been like Nill to conduct big offseason business on July 1. While other teams land their big fishes via free agency signings on the first day of the market opening, the Dallas Stars have become known for staying relatively quiet.
