It’s official: the Dallas Stars are in the “no-no” zone in terms of their cap space. In other words, the Stars are over the cap and have around two months to fix it.
On Friday afternoon, the Stars re-signed defenseman Jamie Oleksiak to a one-year contract, officially clearing all pending and qualified free agents from their roster. While the deal is short term and involves a small salary, Dallas already had little to no wiggle room.
The Dallas Stars began the offseason with around $20 million in cap space and spent frivolously in an effort to hopefully make the team better in all areas.
