Mike Heika, Stars beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered questions about the team in a live chat recently. Here are some highlights:
What do you think Antoine Roussel's future is with the club? I feel like he's a faux-enforcer. Will talk big but can never win fights.
Heika: Yowza, I can't disagree more. One, he typically does pretty well in his fights. Two, that's not his biggest role.
The role of the enforcer is dying, and the role in its place is an "energy" player who can fight if he needs to, but who creates energy through physical play and frenetic skating.
