The Dallas Stars Won't Make the Playoffs
August 31st, 2018 For the last few summers, the Dallas Stars have become known for making a big splash. Whether it's from acquiring new players through trade or free agency, a change in coaching staff or front office, or drafting a generational talent, the team's exciting offseasons have made up for the lack of playoff hockey. But however quiet or busy...
Roope Hintz Is Ready for the Dallas Stars
August 16th, 2018 The Dallas Stars have 40 prospects listed in their system. Of those, no one is more ready for their shot at the NHL than the team’s second-round selection (49th overall) in the 2015 draft. Roope Hintz - pronounced ROH-pay - has matured well, like a vintage '89 cabernet sauvignon or a 10-year barrel-aged whiskey. The young Finn may...
Heiskanen Set to Shine for Stars
August 7th, 2018 On Apr. 29, 2017, the Dallas Stars won the lottery. Quite literally. The 2017 NHL Draft Lottery was a lucky one for Jim Nill and the Stars front office.

Stars New Head Coach Montgomery: A Winning Profile
July 18th, 2018 In early May, the Dallas Stars introduced its eighth head coach in the team's 25 year history. Jim Montgomery joins the Stars after successful stints in the USHL and NCAA, with the hope that the success carries over to the NHL level. Hiring an unproven lower-level coach was a risky move by management, but it's one that could play out...
Dallas Stars Don't Need to Make a Move
July 11th, 2018 The wild early parts of July are fun for hockey fans. It's a hectic time of year in the NHL: players are moving or re-signing, big contracts are being signed, and every once in a while, there is a big-name free agent that your team is reported to be coveting. That's been the story for the Dallas Stars this offseason. The Stars...
