You may very well remember Studenic from his time with the Stars this past season. His offensive numbers haven’t been the same as they were when he was younger, but his defensive abilities and physicality would make up for what he lacks offensively. His large frame makes him a physical, tough player who would add strength and experience to the Stars' blue line, along with being another penalty-killing defenseman. He spent seven and half years in Anaheim before being traded to the Avalanche at this year's deadline. Manson is fresh off of a Stanley Cup victory with Colorado where he scored three goals with five assists and posted a plus-6 rating in 20 playoff games. So in no particular order, here are six guys the Stars could potentially add or keep on the squad this summer. Considering he’s on his last bid for a major payday, that probably will not happen. With the signing of goaltender Scott Wedgewood and the money needed (probably around $11 million) for restricted free agents Jason Robertson and Jake Oettinger, Klingberg would have to take a team-friendly deal to return. But they could also use a bottom-six forward to help round out the offense.īefore you grab your pitchforks and start throwing heat at me, yes, Klingberg is not on this list. The Stars' biggest need is at defense, as they are expected to lose star defenseman John Klingberg, and they don’t have as much depth in their farm system at that position. The Stars don’t exactly have deep pockets right now, so the players they bring in might not be the most well known, but they’ll come with good cause. Have you ever been to an early season game of your favorite team and thought, "Who?" when the PA guy starts announcing players? Well, the Dallas Stars might get just that reaction out of fans this fall as they're looking to add some talent.
