Last season, the Stars were one of the teams just on the outside of the wild-card race in the Western Conference.
It was an improvement from the 2017 season when the Stars finished with a sub-.500 record.
Have the Stars made the right moves to get back into the playoffs? Let's take a look at who is in and who is out.
In: Jim Montgomery (signed after five seasons at Denver University)
Out: Ken Hitchcock (retirement)
Notable: Hitchcock announced his retirement on April 13 after his lone season in his second stint with the Stars.
