The 2017 offseason brought a lot of change to the Dallas Stars organization. Most of it was great while some of it was iffy, but it all combined together to be one of the Stars’ biggest summers in recent memory.
And now, it’s clear that those big moves are paying off. In one offseason, Stars GM Jim Nill reshaped his team in a significant way, thus turning them into potential contenders. This success comes just one year after Dallas finished near the bottom of the Western Conference with a humbling 79 points.
But, as it always does in the hockey world, success comes at a price.
