Tyler Seguin’s camp and the Dallas Stars talked over the weekend
John Shannon: Heard that the Dallas Stars and Tyler Seguin‘s reps spoke over the weekend about a contract extension. Seguin will be back in Dallas tomorrow, so things could get interesting.
Josh Beneteau of Sportsnet: Last week Seguin had told reporters that he was disappointed that no talks were going on.
“Nothing’s really going on,” Seguin said last week at the BioSteel Camp in Toronto. “It’s been a little disappointing. I thought I’d have some exciting news to talk about at BioSteel Camp, especially this late in the summer. It’s been disappointing. But at the end of the day, I obviously have one year left here. I’m just going to focus on that.”
John Shannon said the sides met this weekend but didn’t know how they went.
