The Dallas Stars hopped (or rather, were pushed) onto the offseason path late on the night of May 7, 2019. After digging into a 13-day bout with the St. Louis Blues in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Pat Maroon ended what had become a thrilling and somewhat unexpected run for the Stars with a goal in double overtime of Game 7.
Two days later, the Stars hosted exit interview day and officially embarked on their 2019 offseason journey.
That was over three weeks ago. And while there’s still a lot of offseason left to deal with, this is the part of the summer where things start to get good.
