There’s one more qualified RFA left on the Dallas Stars roster that needs a new deal, preferably before the season begins. That’s defenseman Jamie Oleksiak. Hope you didn’t forget about him through all of the offseason havoc.
The 24-year-old is all that stands between the Dallas Stars and a clean sheet of free agents this season. But how will his contract (assuming the Stars do decide to re-sign him) pan out?
This is an interesting question considering Oleksiak’s current status with the team. He’s 24, has played on-and-off for Dallas since the lockout season in 2013, and has proven to be a shutdown force in the defensive zone, using his massive size and long reach to his advantage.
