Stars general manager Jim Nill headed into the offseason looking to add scoring to a team that finished tied for the third-worst offense in the NHL last season.
The Stars hope the mission was accomplished by signing Joe Pavelski (three years, $7 million average annual value) and Corey Perry (one year, $1.5 million).
Pavelski, buoyed by a 20.2% shooting percentage, scored 38 goals last season in San Jose, the fourth time in the last six seasons he's reached at least 37 goals. Perry, meanwhile, is a one-time 50-goal scorer whose production has dipped in recent years, including an injury-shortened season in Anaheim last season.
