Are rewards in the cards for Dallas, the NHL’s biggest off-season gambler?
The cards began stacking against the Dallas Stars before the 2016-17 season even got underway.
Team captain Jamie Benn got hurt late in the off-season, Tyler Seguin went down a few weeks later, and things only got worse from there as the Stars ended up with their worst season in more than 20 years.
General manager Jim Nill got busy in the off-season, almost surprisingly so.
“I knew he was going to try to make our team better — as any GM (would) — but he always seems to find a way to blow any expectations you might have,” Seguin said.
