The Dallas Stars could use a forward or two, and an upgrade on the blue line

Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet: The Dallas Stars will be looking to add a forward or two this offseason. They could take a look at re-signing Max Domi or they could check in with Ottawa Senators about the cost to acquire Alex DeBrincat.

Joseph Hoyt of the Dallas Morning News: The Dallas Stars have six free agents and just over $7.3 million in projected salary cap space.

Improving their blue line should be one of their priorities. Free agent options for them should include Carson Soucy (Seattle), Radko Gudas (Florida), Luke Schenn (Toronto), and Travis Hamonic (Ottawa).

Upfront the Stars should consider re-signing Max Domi. There is mutual interest. After the Stars were eliminated from playoffs, he said that he hopes he can stay but he’s looking for some stability.

“Maybe getting some more security and stability would be something that I’m hoping to do. And listen: I hope that’s here.”
