In what he described as a “whirlwind,” Lauri Korpikoski made the jump to Dallas after being released from a professional tryout with the Flames. Almost immediately after joining the team, Korpikoski was in Frisco for team practice, signalling perhaps that the Stars have got their hands on a good veteran with leadership qualities much like Vernon Fiddler.
And after the loss of a lot of forward firepower through the natural progression of free agency, trade, or injury, the Stars are obviously looking to continue filling some holes and to make sure that the depth that has served them so well is not compromised while so many players are on the mend.
