The Dallas Stars nabbed one of the top free agents on the market this summer in Joe Pavelski. The former San Jose Sharks captain was supposed to step in and provide an instant boost to the top six, but he’s been off to a slow start thus far:
“It just takes time,” said Stars coach Jim Montgomery. “It’s the nuances of the game, getting to know people, the comfort level of understanding when this guy has the puck, if I go here, I’m going to get the puck. That just takes time.”
Pavelski is obviously disappointed with his performance thus far, but he feels like he’s starting to find his groove.
