Yeah Harley and Johnson contributing already means the Stars may see an opportunity to really push with them on ELCs.
It's an interesting year because I think you could see some teams trying to go all in:
Central: Winnipeg, Dallas, Colorado
Pacific: Vancouver, Edmonton, Vegas
Metro: Rangers, Hurricanes (think they are a dark horse for Lindholm, Rob Brind'Amour loves him)
Atlantic: Boston, Florida, Leafs
I feel like all 11 of those teams feel like they have a real shot at the cup this year and could push chips in because they also have some high profile contract expiries in the next couple years or have aging cores.
Also I think you're going to have Tampa, Detroit, Pittsburgh, and New Jersey potentially looking to make moves to solidify their playoff positions.
Wonder when we start to see the arms race heat up
