July 1 is the most bittersweet day on the NHL calendar.
On the one hand, it’s a potential time to welcome new players to your favorite team and dream about all of the great things they will do for the franchise. But it’s also a time that may include some heart-wrenching goodbyes.
Dallas Stars fans experienced both sides of the spectrum yesterday. They added some big names, but also said an emotional goodbye to veteran forward Patrick Sharp.
Late Friday night, it was reported that the Chicago Blackhawks were planning on re-signing Sharp and bringing him back to the Windy City after his two-year hiatus in Dallas.
