In a perfect world, the Stars would simply set up a time machine Saturday and toss Jere Lehtinen, Craig Ludwig and Ed Belfour inside.
Three of the participants in the team's charity alumni game - scheduled to be held after Dallas plays the New York Rangers at 3 p.m. - are exactly what the 2015-16 Stars are looking for. Lehtinen is a three-time Selke Trophy winner who could shut down an opposing team's best player. Ludwig is a burly defensive defenseman who didn't mind roughing up an opponent if he got too close to the net. And Belfour is a Hall-of-Fame goalie who often refused to get beat when the game was on the line.
