Free agency is around the corner. The St. Louis Blues hoisted the Stanley Cup, reminding us all of the cruel puck luck that struck Jamie Benn in overtime of game seven a mere month ago. With any luck at all on the open net wrap around he missed, St. Louis doesn't hoist the Cup. We all know it. He knows it. Potential acquisitions know it. They know how close the Stars were to being in the Western Conference Final.
So, the Stars should be a prime free agency destination, right? I'm not sure.
If you're a free agent looking for the best chance to win you probably want a team with a good younger core ready to compete at the highest level.
