Before the start of the season, Dallas Stars head coach Ken Hitchcock voiced that he was committed to refining Tyler Seguin as a true number 1, two-way center.
But despite some early season success on a line with Jamie Benn and Alexander Radulov, Seguin has been separated from the Stars’ other best forwards.
"We have no choice," Hitchcock said at the time. "We have to do something like this because I can't put those three guys together and say you've got to check the top line, you've got to score all the goals, you've got to kill all the penalties, and you've got to do all the stuff on the power play.
