While all the news rumors being floated about the Dallas Stars lately seem to concern Erik Karlsson, there is another free agent available who Josh Lile says the Stars might be considering as well: Artemi Panarin.

We know Karlsson is the definition of elite. Trying to rephrase it any other way at this point is an exercise in futility. We get it. The question of whether or not the Stars need to acquire Karlsson still lingers.
