Damn, I wanted Lindback.

Jussi Rynnäs is my front runner now, or Hiller still.

Wow, Lindback in a backup role looks good and they now have two very dangerous offensive lines.

Nill is really impressing me.

Dallas might be a team to watch next year. I mean, it is the Western conference so it won't be easy, but they're doing lots of good things today.

I never would have given up on Hemsky in Edmonton.

They'll be a playoff team again. Young guys maturing and adding the right pieces. Should be a fun team to watch.

They're not quite there yet but they've got a solid top 6 going now. Established and upcoming names like Benn, Seguin, Spezza, Hemsky and Nichushkin.

A couple more good pieces to add to an already solid Dallas team. They're going for it this year. I just don't know how good they'll be until we see them all play together. This much is certain, I think Hemsky and Spezza will continue to have great chemistry together.

Both signings totally reasonable. Stars end the day way better than they started it.

Just so Im clear...Hemsky at 4 mil for 3 years is "totally reasonable", but Raymond at 3 mil for 3 years is " an overpay by a fairly significant margin".

I dont get it.

I watched quite a few Stars games last year and in the playoffs and they are a really exciting team to watch. Benn/Seguin/Nichuskin/Spezza/Hemsky/Rousell with be a very fun top 6
