It’s official, Dallas Stars fans – Roope Hintz is sticking around. For a long, long, long long time. And in doing so, he becomes an official cornerstone in a franchise that’s being reshaped by its judicious drafting and home-raised talent.
The Dallas Morning News’ Matthew DeFranks took a long look at the Hintz extension in one of his latest Stars articles:
“Roope Hintz has shown that he’s a No. 1 center in the league, and those guys are hard to find,” Stars general manager Jim Nill said during a video call on Tuesday morning.
