Stars fans, understandably excited after their team took the eventual Stanley Cup champion St. Louis Blues into Game 7 double overtime, entered the offseason with visions of missing pieces and flashy free agents. Polak was not that, emphatically so, but despite the powerful reaction, the contract was not a mistake. GM Jim Nill and the Dallas Stars do not deserve to be raked over hot coals. At least not yet.
