Should the Dallas Stars do whatever they must to keep Mats Zuccarello in Big D? Or should they be looking over his shoulder for a new dance partner?
The Dallas Morning News’ Matthew DeFranks has done some sums. He takes a look at the market, as well as the Stars’ history, starting with how the Stars have made deals with players like Zucc in the past:
Zuccarello is a creative, offensive-minded winger who can play on the top power play unit but doesn’t kill penalties and just averaged a career-high 19:51 of ice time per game this season, although he topped that figure just once in non-overtime games during his 15 regular-season and postseason games with the Stars.
