Mike Heika, Stars beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered your questions about the team in a live chat recently. Here are some highlights:
The Stars were the "champions of the offseason," IMO. If you had to predict the Central Division standings based on each team's offseason, how does everyone fall?
Heika: It's an extremely tight group, but here is what I think on Aug. 21:
1. Dallas - Hitch usually gets great results in his first year
2. Nashville - Predators learned a lot in playoff run, and keep growing with new players.
