The Dallas Stars have a franchise 1C in Tyler Seguin. Remarkably, they could be in on another in the form of John Tavares.
Mike Heika has been writing about the Stars for long enough that he remembers when another elite forward, Brad Richards, decided to test free agency in 2011:
Richards worked his entire career and was a good soldier, so he felt he earned the right to be a free agent. He felt he earned the right to pick the team he wanted to play for. He felt he earned the right to make himself happy.
