Mike Heika of the NHL.com: (mailbag) Asked if sees the Dallas Stars trading one of their extra forwards … Don’t see that happening as they likely feel the extra depth will be needed. There will be injuries throughout the season and it doesn’t hurt to scratch someone here and there. believes they’d like to keep the forward group intact but add a high-level rental defenseman closer to the trade deadline.
Think that both pending UFAs Corey Perry and Anton Khudobin will wait out the season. There is lots of time to talk, but it makes sense to wait.
