It’s hard to argue that the Dallas Stars did anything wrong in the 2017 offseason.
After a disastrous 2016-17 regular season that saw Dallas place sixth in the Central Division, post a record of 34-37-11 with 79 points, and finish 15 points out of the final wild card spot in the West, the Stars needed help. They were beaten, broken, and searching for help.
Luckily, GM Jim Nill knew just what to do. He spent 82 games watching the team fall apart at the seams and noted each and every weak point within the roster.
