At their annual Party in the Park event last night, the Dallas Stars organization had plenty of big announcements to make.
First off and definitely the biggest news of the night was the re-signing of captain Jamie Benn to an eight-year contract extension.
The 26-year old had surgery to fix a slight muscle pull on Thursday morning and will be sidelined for six weeks. He hopes to be ready in time for the World Cup of Hockey, but nothing is for sure as of yet.
The Dallas Stars signed him to an eight-year extension worth $76 million.
