The case for buying out Ryan Suter this summer: 1) Saves 2.8M of cap space the next 2 years. 2) You're proactive in the path to win a cup. 3) You avoid the sunk-cost fallacy. 4) It's addition by subtraction. 5) Do I need to continue? Thank you for your attention. #TexasHockey

Anytime you hear Jamie Benn is a problem for the Stars from cap perspective, think about guys like Anton Khudobin, Radek Faksa or Ryan Suter. They together take basically the same amount of cap space from the team. Now, would you rather have Benn or that specific trio? Exactly.

So I dug deeper on this and here's an explanation: Since Dallas used only ~220k of LTIR pool while projected to accrue ~280k of cap space throughout the entire season in total, they can activate Evgeni Dadonov and stay fully cap compliant. Sorry for any confusion. #TexasHockey

Talking with DeBoer today -- sounds like the Stars could get Dadonov into a game without affecting the rest of the roster. Salary cap math gets complicated. But the Stars may have put themselves in a place to do it. They're one of the league's best at this. #TexasHockey

Day 2. Still hate that overpay for Ilya Lyubushkin. But! Now it's time to look for positives: His 5v5 and PK impact numbers were fine. He was actually sneakily good in Toronto when paired with Morgan Rielly. I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if DeBoer tries him alongside Miro.

Lian Bichselโ€™s season with Leksand IF ended yesterday already after being eliminated in SHL play-in round. Iโ€™d expect him to sign a contract with Dallas in the coming days to get his feet wet in the AHL. Heโ€™s also an option for Swiss team at IIHF Worlds in May.๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ #TexasHockey

Safe to say both Stankoven and Bourque are making a strong early push for NHL sooner rather than later. After three games: โ€ข Logan Stankoven: 4pts (2G-2A) โ€ข Mavrik Bourque: 4pts (2G-2A) Thatโ€™s some internal trade deadline acquisitions right there. #TexasHockey

PSA: It's been widely reported that Dallas has around $7M to sign Thomas Harley, therefore an option to go long-term with him. In reality, if they go 22-man roster (see below) they'd only have around $5.45M of cap space. That's why I expect a 4-year deal for him (ends as RFA).

#TexasHockey prospect Lian Bichsel and Rogle BK are in the SHL playoff finals! Unbelievable run from 9th seed team: Barely squeaked into the playoffs and are currently riding a 13-game winning streak. ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ Bichsel has 6 assists and average TOI of 22:30 during the 13-game stretch.

Joel Hanley was waived (most probably) in order to create a roster spot for an extra call-up as Dallas currently has only 12 healthy forwards โ€“ including Stankoven. I assume they donโ€™t want to put Seguin on IR. Could it mean itโ€™s finally Mavrik Bourqueโ€™s time? #TexasHockey

It's been a while since Dallas could use a full 23-man roster. This projected opening night roster still has roughly $600k in cap space, meaning Stars are well set to accrue money they could spend on trade deadline. Plus, they could still go 22-man and accrue more money faster.

Dallas Stars play their 10th playoff home game today - the most games at home in a single postseason run since the move to the AAC. Great news not only from a gate revenue perspective, but a chance to further grow the game regionally. Now, they'll fight for more. #TexasHockey

To spread out the offense, this is what Iโ€™d try as soon as Roope Hintz is back: โ€ข Marchment โ€“ Hintz โ€“ Gurianov โ€ข Robertson โ€“ Seguin โ€“ Pavelski โ€ข Benn โ€“ Johnston โ€“ Dellandrea 24 has the ability to elevate both 27 & 34 and they showed good chemistry in preseason. #TexasHockey

It almost happened. Logan Stankoven *almost* had a pointless night, in his 24th game of the season โ€“ but then he scored an empty net goal. Heโ€™s now at 52 points (20 goals & 32 assists) in just 24 games and is also on a 24-game point streak to start his WHL season. #TexasHockey

How to make Dallas an ultimate contender (a step-by-step guide): 1. What are you waiting for? Buy out Ryan Suter. 2. Trade for Erik 'freakin' Karlsson. 3. Sign Max Pacioretty to a 'prove me' deal. 4. Fill out the rest. 5. Profit. Full details here โ†˜๏ธ #TexasHockey

The reason I wanted NSH/LAK in R1: saving energy for later rounds. If you're in for a long-haul (as Stars intend), this is crucial. However, if you're not able to beat Vegas, you should not be in for a long-haul. Glass half-full vision. Bring it on. #TexasHockey vs. #VegasBorn

Now, be honest. Does this looks like the face of mercy? Sources say Roope Hintz switched to number 24 in Dallas to demonstrate he will be a nightmare for NHL opposing players 24 hours a day. Still trying to get an official confirmation on that.

Genuinely surprised about Dallas not qualifying Mariรกn Studeniฤ. He wanted to come back as well. ๐Ÿง His qualifying offer ($787,500) was not activated. Still possible he signs at a lower cap hit, although you save only $12.5k AAV having him on league minimum deal. #TexasHockey

While I know everybody is deep into the Jason Robertson's new contract and what that might possibly be (me included) let's not forget the other big name. I'd consider it a good lesson learned for Stars if they lock Hintz up proactively, ideally already this training camp/fall.
