Locked On Stars - Daily Podcast On The Dallas Stars

On today's episode of Locked On Stars, we dive into a full offseason outlook for the Dallas Stars! Joey begins by laying out the notable unrestricted and restricted free agents the Stars currently have on their roster and how much cap space they have. We then give reasons to why or why not resign each player and which ones General Manager Jim Nill should prioritize when July 1st hits. The two most important in our eyes is Chris Tanev and Thomas Harley, key cornerstones on defense at drastically different points in their careers, but very impactful for your immediate success in the near future and long term. In the second segment, Joey believes in the importance for Dallas to add size and physicality to the roster to fill in spots around skilled players such as Wyatt Johnston, Logan Stankoven, Roope Hintz and more. He thinks the Stars need to stay away from skilled wingers in free agency that may bring scoring during the regular season, but fizzle out deep in a playoff run like we saw this season. In the final segment, we take a quick look at the 2024 NHL Draft and the amount of picks Dallas has and what needs they could be looking to fill this year.

What Went Wrong for the Dallas Stars in the Western Conference Final?

On today's episode, Joey uses Locked On Stars listeners comments and feedback to drive his conversation on what went wrong for the Dallas Stars in the Western Conference Final. The overwhelming majority pointed to special teams deserving the most blame for what happened against the Oilers. Joey lays out the numbers from the series on special teams, plus a trend the Stars should be concerned about with Pete DeBoer and his staff. We also discuss how many of the Stars best players such as Roope Hintz, Jason Robertson, Miro Heiskanen and more left much to be desired in the series. Connor McDavid alone had 10 points against Dallas and took control of the lost two games which finished off the Stars. In the final segment, Joey gives a nod to Joe Pavelski who plays on hanging up the skates after this season. Plus, the exciting future in Dallas with players like Mavrik Bourque and Lian Bichel who could be key contributors for years to come.

Free Agent Friday: The top Defenseman the Dallas Stars should be in on this summer!

It's Free Agent Friday on Locked On Stars! Joey begins the first Free Agent Friday of the offseason by looking at the top available Defensemen in the NHL this summer. Defense should be a top priority for the Stars this summer and if Chris Tanev does not resign with the Stars, Dallas will have to find a way to replenish their core with the hopes of getting over the hump next season. In the first segment, we do a dive on right shot Dylan Demelo who played for the Winnipeg Jets this last season. Demelo is younger and plays a very similar style to Tanev that could be a nice replacement if need be. In the second segment, we take a look at two options under the age of 30 years old. The golden child for Joey this summer would be Brett Pesce of the Carolina Hurricanes, the other possibility is an undersized Alexandre Carrier who grades out as the best defender for the Nashville Predators this season. To finish up the episode, we have some fun and look at some names that most likely the Stars would be out on, but are fun to think about if they did come to Dallas.
