The 2018-19 regular season will bring yet another tidal wave of change to the Dallas Stars organization. That can be both scary or exciting, depending on how you look at it.
The Stars ended the 2017-18 season on one of the most sour notes in the organization’s history. After succumbing to a brutal 0-6-2 skid in mid-March that all but negated five solid months of progress with a new head coach, scheme, and lineup, Dallas fell short of the playoff race for the second year in a row. And while the lack of playoff action in 2016-17 was due to one of the worst performances in franchise history, the shortcoming in 2017-18 was almost unpredictable and unimaginable.
