You have to give to get. That’s a lesson that applies to many different scenarios in life and can definitely influence the NHL and its teams.
That’s one lesson that the Dallas Stars learned today, perhaps more strongly than in multiple years past. The Stars lost two of their most dedicated soldiers in Colton Sceviour and Vernon Fiddler due to free agency negotiations.
The Stars entered the offseason with eight pending UFA’s and a bit of cap space trouble, so the writing was on the wall that not everyone would be returning next season.
