Looking like a tough, relatively quiet offseason for Dallas. NMCs make trades difficult, so young kids will naturally have to progress. Hakanpaa offseason surgery may require him starting season late, hence resigning Hanley to again serve as the #7. Trading Miller is tough, but gonna need the cap space. Have Karlstrom starting as #13 fwd, but we’ll likely see Stankoven amongst a couple others during season to get looks as needed. Imagine they’ll use at least 15 fwds during season. Gotta find chemistry in the bottom 6, especially with whatever line Marchment is on, and he’s gonna need to take a big step in yr2 or that contract will have to be considered an option to shop come the deadline or next offseason.
A lot worked this yr, so hope to build off success and progress with just tweaks. Build cap space during season, and monitor the market for depth at deadline again to push over the top this season.
