Here's how the Jamie Oleksiak deal affected Stars' cap space as NHL trade deadline draws near

Matthew DeFranks, Stars beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered your questions about the team in a recent live chat. Here are some highlights:

How did you think Oleksiak looked in his first game? Should he be able to adjust pretty quick back in Dallas even with a new staff?

DeFranks: Well, you definitely notice when he's on the ice. Part of the reason the Stars brought him back to Dallas was his 6-foot-7 frame, and that's a pretty big difference from Julius Honka or Connor Carrick back there.
