Yesterday, we talked about why Anton Khudobin will likely not re-sign with the Dallas Stars. We then discussed some potential replacement options for the Stars to target via trade or free agency.
Today, I’m here to tell you why the Stars’ best option as backup is not a potential off-season acquisition, but rather a goaltender already in house: rookie Jake Oettinger.
Since being selected 26th overall in the 2017 NHL Draft, Oettinger is well on his way to assume his destined role as the Stars’ starting goaltender for the foreseeable future.
