Esa Lindell is the defensemen AHL scouts are warning non Dallas teams about. Can he fill the hole left from Alex Goligoski and Jason Demer's departures?
The Stars don't have the reputation of a team with a strong blueline. Walk into any fantasy trade forum or thread, be it on reddit, or the hfboards, and everyone can't wait to offer you a bunch of third pairing defensemen they think Dallas needs for Valeri Nichushkin. But that's because Dallas has a strong pipeline of quality prospects. It'd be darn near impossible to have every blueline prospect bust.
