Are the Dallas Stars the envy of the entire NHL right now? Currently contending for the Stanley Cup, but most for their best players are 25 years old or younger, so they're probably going to KEEP COMPETING for the Cup for years and years to come

It's hard watching Jamie Benn these days. The guy who used to go "Beast Mode" on a regular basis is a total ghost on the majority of his shifts, and sometimes entire games He's making $9.5M AAV but is playing like he should be making $3.5M. That's an enormous problem for Dallas

As of right now I fully expect Chicago to pick Artyom Levshunov at 2nd, for two reasons: 1) Their system has many good young forwards and LHD, but very few RHD 2) They recently traded up from 20th to 18th, and there should be at least one high-end forward still available at 18

This is an *amazing* trade for Dallas, because they don't move a 1st rounder (which was the rumored asking price for Tanev), they don't move one of their best prospects, AND there is retained salary Jim Nill just out-Jim Nill'd himself

Trade is official. Calgary sends D Chris Tanev to Dallas. New Jersey also involved in a three-way deal. #Flames receive a 2024 second-round pick, 2026 conditional third-round pick, prospect D Artem Grushnikov. Calgary retains 50% of Tanev’s salary.

Watching Roope Hint go from being the 49th overall pick in 2015 to one of the best players in the NHL has had such a profound influence on how I scout When a player THIS good gets picked that late it would be foolish to not obsessively dig further into it

Hard to overstate how lucky the Stars were to get Jason Robertson at 39th overall. Book it: the teams that passed on him will soon regret it

Is now a bad time to remind everyone that the Edmonton Oilers could have been playing Jake Oettinger right now, but they passed over him in the 2017 draft?

Jim Nill doesn't get enough credit for how good he is at filling out every corner of the Stars roster EX: the Sam Steel and Craig Smith signings this summer were brilliant. Both guys are producing every penny worth of value out of their contracts

And that concludes the 2023 NHL draft! Some players who weren't picked that I liked (and still like): Isac Hedqvist, Matthew Soto, Jordan Tourigny Team that I felt for the best overall value for their picks: the Seattle Kraken, by a country mile. They absolutely crushed it

I cannot emphasize enough the risk of putting young guys in the NHL when they aren't ready, aren't getting enough minutes, or the situation isn't ideal. Even if they stick around the NHL they might not reach their true ceiling Let them reach a jog before you ask them to sprint!

I've been following Artem Grushnikov's development for a few years now, and he's always struck me as a guy with an eventual NHL future There will always, ALWAYS be a need for shutdown D. Guys who can PK, handle tough match-ups and defend late leads. He does that work very well

Dallas 2021 2nd-rounder Artyom Grushnikov doesn't score many points, but man is he good at defending. His ability to close gaps is top-notch ( #2 in white) I have a strong appreciation for modern shutdown defensemen. It's so much harder to do than it looks, especially in the pros

The Stars are also sometimes able to find out-of-the-box ways to give their prospects an edge Wyatt Johnston is an incredible success story for their scouting/development system. Would he be THIS good THIS early without living with Joe Pavelski the past two seasons? Probably not

Tij Iginla is a ridiculously well-rounded and complete player He has a couple of points so far in this ongoing Canadian romp over Sweden, but more impressive, he has been *everywhere* on the ice and is dominant at driving play He just won't let the Swedes have the puck

Jamie Benn is not the same player that he used to be. Years of physical hockey and being a top target for opposing defenses has taken its toll on his body Which is why him fighting through an amazing Vegas team to carry the Stars to a series win was such a helluva thing to watch

What an amazing scouting find Mason Lohrei was for the Bruins. He went undrafted in his first year of eligibility, but Boston was aggressive in taking him in the 2nd round, 58th overall, in 2020 Since then he torched the USHL and NCAA, and already looks to be NHL-ready at 22

Remi Poirer was drafted by the Stars in the 6th round, 185th overall, in 2020 In his first pro season he has a .928 save percentage in the ECHL, a .934 in the AHL, and he just beat up one of the top goalie prospects in the world Safe to say Dallas likes how this pick is looking

Ty Dellandrea doesn't get talked about as much as other Stars prospects these days because he's grinding it out in the AHL instead of lighting up a junior league, but he's still a guy with really solid NHL upside. He's made big developmental progress this season

How much do the Dallas Stars coaches already trust Ty Dellandrea? Closing out a one-goal lead late against Nashville, here was some of Dellandrea's usage: * defensive zone faceoff at even strength * penalty kill * defensive zone work when the Predators had an extra attacker out
