Stars decline that Panthers deal, their defensive core is already weak, don’t see the point in weakening it more.

I also don’t see the point in breaking one of the best lines this past year.

Yeah, Dallas just hangs the phone up in this case with FL.

So I'll give another two cents here. While there is cap going out of DAL with Lindell going to FL, Hornquist has a $5.3M cap hit and adding Montour with another $3.5M. Montour got 37 points last season on the best scoring team in the league (im pretty sure). While that is nice, Lindell is a defensive workhouse, is great on the PK, can transition the puck, pass, and has a sneaky shot. Lindell is by far better than Montour in the 200 ft game.

Stars have still yet to sign Oettinger or Robertson and my guess is that the numbers for signing both today would put Dallas over the cap. DAL might be looking to trade something to free up cap space, ie Faksa or possibly even Gurianov.
