Jamie Oleksiak was traded yesterday, and I’m still not sure what it means, other than that we fans have finally been backed into the corner (once Marc Methot returns) of having to decide whether we’d like Stephen Johns or Julius Honka to play on a given night. Yeah, that’s not a cheery way to start out, but losing in overtime rarely feels good, it turns out. At least the Stars got a point out of this, which is kind of the starting point for Eastern Conference game goals.
Anyway, the Stars are still in Wild Card Land, and with Chicago looming, this game didn’t provide a ton of clarity on what this team can be.
