The Dallas Stars are back on the potential NHL Awards list.
After being present in the race for various awards like the Hart Trophy, Jack Adams Award, and GM of the Year for the 2015-16 season, the Stars took a drop off in 2016-17. Their lacking performance on the ice last season translated to the postseason as well, where they had zero finalists for any awards.
But with a new season and a seemingly revitalized Dallas Stars team, there are plenty of new potential candidates in the running. The one majority opinion from all Stars fans focuses on John Klingberg and his shot at the Norris Trophy, which is awarded to the league’s best defenseman.
