As the Dallas Stars approached the 2017 offseason, they had quite the shopping list on their hands.
After an abysmal 2016-17 season that left the Stars with a final record of 34-37-11 and 79 points, it was clear that change was required. It was the second worst season in Stars’ franchise history and followed a 2015-16 season that was filled with excitement, hope, 109 points, a Central Division title, and the Stars falling one win short of a trip to the Western Conference Finals.
It’s no secret that 2016-17 caught the Dallas Stars front office, team, and fanbase completely off guard.
