Trevor Daley returned home after a two-year hiatus Tuesday and looked across the ice at a group of strangers.
OK, there were eight guys who he played with that remained from the 34 players on the 2014-15 Dallas Stars, but that's a pretty sobering number. It shows you just how liquid rosters are in the NHL, how tentative your ties are to a team, and maybe most importantly, how much the Stars are still seeking their identity.
There are contract decisions and waiver decisions and age decisions that go into it all the changes, but this organization is a work in progress, and Daley's return sort of underscores that.
