First of all, let’s get the obvious out of the way: the Dallas Stars have a secondary/depth scoring problem. My colleague Rob McClay wrote about this yesterday, and while six games are still a relatively small sample size, it’s enough to tell us that scoring outside of Tyler Seguin, Jamie Benn, Alexander Radulov, and John Klingberg is a real issue this team is facing.
Unfortunately, while many fans are certainly daydreaming of a blockbuster trade for William Nylander, Artemi Panarin, or some other top six forward, the odds of that happening are slim.
