The Dallas Stars have not been known as a defensive strong house in nearly two decades. They are an offensive team through and through, but after a rough start to this season they re-evaluated.
That led them to developing a more holistic approach to defense, featuring a number of their highly talented young prospects on the blue line. Unfortunately for the Stars, though, there are only six maybe seven roster spots on a nightly basis for defensemen, which has caused a revolving door of young players this season.
As the season progresses, it is becoming more and more evident that Dallas’ choices in regards to young d-men has been detrimental to their success.
