Five years of individual success. One playoff series victory.
Now there are no more excuses for the Dallas Stars. With Tyler Seguin signing an 8-year, $78 million extension with the club Thursday, it's time for the team around Seguin and Jamie Benn to step up and achieve.
While some around the country have suggested Seguin accepted a "hometown discount" to stay in Dallas, it's hard to say he left any "real" money on the table. Yes, center John Tavares -- a comparable player -- signed a 7-year, $77 million this summer to play for Toronto.
