Mike Heika, Stars beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered your questions about the team in a live chat recently. Here are some highlights:

Yes, the contract is really friendly. But with that being said, say Ben Bishop explodes this season and finishes top three in the league... Would the Stars consider flipping him for a decent haul?

Heika: Not a chance. They are investing money to win now. If you have a top goalie, you keep him and ride the wave. Jake Oettinger is probably 3-5 years away from even being a back-up, so riding Bishop while waiting for Oettinger would be a perfect solution to a problem that has dogged this team for a decade.
