Stars Forward Could Play Bigger Role Next Season
The Dallas Stars willing be looking outward this offseason to plug some of the holes in their roster that were exposed during the Western Conference Final. Just about everyone with eyes saw how outclassed and far from being a contender they were as the Edmonton Oilers sent them on vacation for the second straight year. While General Manger Jim Nill and company will be looking at potential pieces to bring in, they should be looking at who can they can bring to the NHL level from AHL-affiliate Texas Stars. Bright Future Ahead After Texas Stars Season Comes to an End Bright Future Ahead After Texas Stars Season Comes to an End The Texas Stars walked the same path as their parent team, the Advertisement Dallas Stars, and their season concluded in the Western Conference Final of the Calder Cup playoffs. Matej Blumel has had an up and down year with the Dallas Stars as he has made multiple appearances at the NHL level before being sent back to the Texas Stars of the AHL. During his brief stint with Dallas he tallied one point in seven games. Through 67 games in Cedar Park, Blumel tallied 39 goals and accumulated 72 points. One could gather that the 25=year old forward has not gotten a fair chance at the NHL level, given how deep the Stars have been in recent years. Stars May Have Waited Too Long To Sack DeBoer Stars May Have Waited Too Long To Sack DeBoer The Advertisement Dallas Stars finally bit the bullet on Friday and relieved Head Coach Pete DeBoer of his duties with the team. The news comes a week after the Stars were outmatched in the Western Conference Final by the Edmonton Oilers, with the series finale ending in disaster. DeBoer pulled starting goaltender Jake Oettinger in the first seven minutes after Oettinger gave up two goals on two shots. Edmonton would claim a 6-3 victory en route to another Stanley Cup Final appearances. The young Czech forward will certainly get his chance this season as the Stars will be cap strapped while also looking to add more scoring to the lineup. Blumel would be a welcomed addition to the bottom six. Blumel will be an unrestricted free agent this summer, but will likely be back on another two-year contract that brings an AAV of $800,000. It will be better with the limited amount of salary cap wiggle room that the Stars not only bring back Matej Blumel back, but also give him big minutes this upcoming. Not only will the two-year veteran bring a spark that at times the Stars lacked, but will be able to grow within to become a future piece of the next way of talent in Dallas.
