One of the biggest topics of discussions among Dallas Stars fans, dating back a few years now, has revolved around the team’s top defensive pairing.
John Klingberg, almost from the moment that he joined the team in the 2014-15 season, cemented himself on the right side of the Stars’ top pairing. At only 25 years of age and under contract until the end of 2021-22, there’s no cause for concern about that role on the team.
The left side of the top pair, however, is a much different story.
Alex Goligoski fit well there, although not without a lot of debate about whether he was good enough, before leaving the organization as a free agent in the summer of 2016.
