Stars Facing Tough Offseason With Multiple Agents
The Dallas Stars will head into another offseason riding the disappointment of falling short again in the playoffs. After taking down the Avalanche and the Jets, the Stars would be outmatched in the Western Conference Final by the Edmonton Oilers. With their season now over, they will look to regroup in the offseason as they will decide on the number of free agent signings that lie before them. Stars Defenseman From Playoff Run Sent Down to AHL Stars Defenseman From Playoff Run Sent Down to AHL The Advertisement Dallas Stars may have been knocked out of the Western Conference Finals already, but their minor league team in the AHL, the Texas Stars are still fighting for a chance. Ahead of the Stars playoff run, they called up Alexander Petrovic and Ben Kraws for some additional depth. Now that the Stars have been thumped from the NHL postseason, they will have to look inward and restructure the roster to propel themselves from Stanley Cup pretenders to contender. Dallas heads into the summer with seven unrestricted free agents and ample salary cap space. The conflict going into the offseason is not if the Stars should resign these free agents, but do these players deserve to return to Dallas. Of the seven Dallas players set to hit free agency this summer, the two deserving players to make a return should be Mikael Granlund and Colin Blackwell. Granlund arrived in Dallas during the NHL Trade Deadline and made a major impact in contributing seven goals and 21 points. Colin Blackwell has provided a physical presence while also tallying points during his first season in Dallas. A complete turnover in the offseason would not be out of the question for General Manager Jim Nill as the rumor mill is already swirling that forward Jason Robertson could be on the trade block this offseason.

Stars at Avalanche picks and predictions Prediction Avalanche 4, Stars 3 Dallas dropped its last 3 road games of the regular season. In regular-season and playoff games combined, the Stars have coughed up 42 goals over their last 9 outings. Colorado was not great down the stretch in the regular season but was better than Dallas. And the Avs have been quite good on home ice. They played out the back end of the season with better 5-on-5 analytics. BET THE AVALANCHE (-185). There is a lean on the Over in this contest, but the Oettinger is worthy of enough respect to generate a PASS here unless the return for Colorado gets a bump. The Over is 4-1 across the last 5 Dallas-Colorado games. The 5-on-5 expected-goal figures lean toward more scoring. (Those numbers also back up more Avs offense and a higher yield in goals for the Stars.) Both sides have some playing-on-1-day rest figures that lean toward more scoring also. And adding in special-teams trends on both sides (the Avs have tallied power-play goals in 4 straight games for instance) adds more fuel to the Over fire. TAKE THE OVER 6.5 (-105).

Yahoo Sports AM: The NL has flipped the script on the AL
Yahoo Sports AM is our daily newsletter that keeps you up to date on all things sports. Sign up here to get it every weekday morning. 🏀 Detroit snaps streak: The Pistons beat the Knicks, 100-94, to snap their 15-game playoff losing streak (longest in NBA history) and record their first postseason win since 2008. 🏒 OT game-winners: Alex Ovechkin scored his first career playoff OT goal to lift the Capitals past the Canadiens; Colin Blackwell played the hero in Dallas as the Stars beat the Avalanche to tie the series. ⏱️ Record time in Boston: Sharon Lokedi of Kenya won the Boston Marathon with a time of 2:17:20, smashing the previous women's course record of 2:19:59. 🏈 QB swap: Joey Aguilar, who transferred to UCLA a few months ago, is now transferring again to Tennessee to replace QB Nico Iamaleava, who just transferred to UCLA. 🏒 Seattle cleans house: The Kraken fired head coach Dan Bylsma after one season and plan to replace GM Ron Francis. The American League has historically been better than the National League. But early indications this season are that the Senior Circuit has flipped the script — in a big way. The NL flexes its might: Five NL teams have already reached 14 wins this season, compared to just two in the AL. Run differential tells a similar story, with nine NL teams sporting a positive mark compared to just five in the AL. The top five teams in our latest power rankings all play in the NL, as do four of the five current favorites to win the World Series, according to BetMGM. It's not just the teams, either: NL players comprise nine of the top 12 batters and seven of the top 11 pitchers by fWAR (wins above replacement calculated by FanGraphs), prompting "lots of talk among execs about the enormous disparity between the two leagues, how the NL is markedly better," tweeted ESPN's Buster Olney. Changing of the guard: While this level of early-season dominance would have been tough to predict, there have been signs in recent years that the NL was catching up to its younger brother. The AL had a winning record in 17 of the first 21 years of interleague play, but the NL has come out on top in four of the past six non-shortened seasons, and leads 61-51 so far in 2025. The AL still holds a 68-52 lead all-time in the World Series tally (thank you, Yankees), but the NL has won four of the last six championships, and nine of the last 15. More money, more wins: The recent shift towards the NL could be attributed to the cyclical nature of this interleague rivalry, which has been fueled by a back-and-forth spending spree in recent decades. The Yankees unloaded their war chest in the '90s to immense success and the Red Sox soon followed suit, forcing the rest of the AL to field better teams in an effort to keep pace. That balance began shifting last decade with the Dodgers, whose success has in turn forced other NL teams up the ante. To wit, the NL boasts four of the sport's five highest payrolls — and the Dodgers, Mets, Phillies and Padres all look like early contenders. Looking ahead: For most of baseball history, disparities between the NL and AL weren't on display until the World Series. The advent of interleague play made those disparities more apparent, and they matter more than ever in the Balanced Schedule Era (2023-present), which includes 46 interleague games per team per year (up from 20). Moving forward, whichever league is in its bull cycle could really rack up the wins. Bottom line: The MLB season is less than a month old, so the "small sample size" caveat is a must. But the eye test and data have both been pretty overwhelming thus far: the NL is the superior league. Kenyan runners John and Wesley Korir now share a special bond no other siblings have: Both are Boston Marathon champions. John crossed the finish line on Monday at 2:04:45, recording the second-fastest winning time in the history of the men's race. Wesley won the race in 2012 with a time of 2:12:40. That's nearly eight minutes slower than his younger brother, but John didn't have to battle near-record heat like Wesley did. The Premier League title race is all but over, with Liverpool set to clinch their record-tying 20th championship. Relegation, too, is nearly a done deal. But with five games left, the race for the Champions League is just getting started. Where it stands: After Liverpool (79 points) and Arsenal (66) is a crowd of five teams separated by just three points, all fighting for the final three Champions League spots. Nottingham Forest (60 points) Newcastle United (59) Manchester City (58) Chelsea (57) Aston Villa (57) What to watch: Over the next five weeks, those clubs will engage in a live-action version of chutes and ladders, moving up or falling back by the smallest of margins with each result. The fun begins today when Manchester City hosts Aston Villa at the Etihad. The 2025 NFL Draft will be held this week in Green Bay, Wisconsin — the ninth city to host the league's signature offseason event since it began touring the country in 2015. From Yahoo Sports' Jay Busbee: The millions of NFL fans who have enjoyed the league's traveling draft road show over the past decade can thank an unusual and unexpected source: the Radio City Music Hall Rockettes. Yes, really. For half a century, the NFL Draft called New York City home, and by 2014, the draft extravaganza was a key fixture at Radio City Music Hall. But the only organization with more juice at Radio City than the NFL was the world-famous Rockettes dance troupe, and in 2014, the Rockettes kicked — pun very much intended — the NFL out of its traditional late-April draft date into May. That didn't go over well with the Powers That Be in the NFL, and neither did the news later that year that the Rockettes would likely claim all of April and May at Radio City. Surely the NFL could push its draft to June…? Nope. The NFL decided to take its show on the road, and that has made all the difference in the 10 years since. What was once a televised job fair is now an extravaganza to rival the Super Bowl, traveling to cities that may not ever get the chance to host a big game of their own.
