Shortly after Jaroslav Halak’s agent, Allan Walsh, tweeted about his frustration with the Islanders’ three-goalie system, Elliotte Friedman reported that Halak is available.
Shortly after that, Sportsnet’s Daniel Goffenberg named the Stars as one of five teams that could be interested in adding the Islanders netminder.
The high-powered Stars have been looking for an upgrade in goal for quite some time.
Dallas currently sits 23rd in the league with a .893 save percentage, and the Antti Niemi-Kari Lehtonen tandem struggled last season as well.
CBS Sports’ Chris Peters also speculated that the Stars could be a landing place for Halak.
