Living in the Central Division this season means the Stars are at the high-rollers table. We already know who they’ll likely play in the playoffs, too. With that reality it’s time for them to be aggressive in the trade market

The NHL's three best teams play in the same division. The Stars are one of them.
Since Dallas can't run from that reality, they need to act accordingly. Here's @seanshapiro.bsky.social on why the Stars need to make another big deadline swing as soon as possible

Obviously @russohockey.bsky.social already has had the big well-reported story on the likely USA roster from earlier this month. But the feeling from talking to some Stars people is that Jason Robertson is still on the outside of the USA Olympic roster.
