Stars re-sign Mavrik Bourque and Nils Lundkvist, young players still searching for roles
FRISCO, Texas — The Dallas Stars have re-signed two young players still searching for roles, with forward Mavrik Bourque and defenseman Nils Lundkvist agreeing to one-year contracts. Bourque played in 73 regular-season games in 2024-25, but dressed for just three playoff games as the Stars lost in the Western Conference final for the third consecutive year. Edmonton beat Dallas in five games after winning in six last year. The 23-year-old Bourque signed for $950,000, the Stars said Friday. He tallied 25 points (11 goals) last season. Bourque was the 30th overall pick in the first round by Dallas in 2020. Bourque made his NHL debut on April 6, 2024, the only game he played in 2023-24. He also made one playoff appearance that season. Lundkvist has been a disappointment since the Stars traded a first-round pick for him before the 2022-23 season. He was drafted in the first round by the New York Rangers in 2018. Injuries limited the 24-year-old to 39 games in the regular season, and Lundkvist didn't appear in the postseason after playing sparingly in most of his 12 playoff appearances in 2024. His second consecutive one-year contract is for $1.25 million. Lundkvist has 44 points (nine goals) in 183 games over four seasons.

Stars invest $2.2M in Bourque and Lundkvist extensions, leave veteran Benn's status in limbo
Mavrik Bourque proved he's ready for more ice time with the Dallas Stars , and now he has one more year to show his vision and hockey IQ. With Bourque's extension, the Stars have secured another young talent, Nils Lundkvist , to a one-year contract extension Friday. At 23, forward Mavrik Bourque signed a one-year deal worth $950,000. In his rookie season, he posted 11 goals and 14 assists (25 points) over 73 games, marking career highs across the board. General manager Jim Nill praised his vision and hockey IQ, calling him 'a dynamic and highly skilled player' whose playmaking elevates the team. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like How Much Money Should You Have Before Hiring a Financial Advisor? SmartAsset Learn More Undo Bourque was drafted 30th overall in 2020. He split time between the AHL's Texas Stars and the NHL in recent seasons. In 2023-24, he led the AHL with 77 points in 71 games, earning league MVP honors. The Stars also retained defenseman Nils Lundkvist on a one-year deal worth $1.25 million. Live Events At 24, Lundkvist recorded five assists and a +4 rating in 39 games last season. Nill highlighted his puck-moving ability and hockey sense, noting they enhance both offense and defense. Since joining Dallas via trade from the New York Rangers in 2022, he has totaled 44 points in 183 NHL games. These short-term deals follow the Stars' signing of Matt Duchene to a four-year extension and a trade sending Mason Marchment to Seattle. These moves left Dallas with under $500,000 in cap space before Friday's signings. After adding Bourque and Lundkvist, the team retains about $2.76 million in cap space with 18 players under contract for next season. Analysts see these one-year deals as low-risk, high-reward. Dallas hopes Bourque continues his upward trajectory and that Lundkvist builds on his steady development. The Stars began their off-season on Thursday by signing Matt Duchene to a four-year contract with an average annual value of $4.5 million. After Friday's announcement, Captain Jamie Benn is the most notable unrestricted free agent for the Stars, alongside Evgenii Dadonov, Mikael Granlund, Colin Blackwell, Cody Ceci, and Brendan Smith, all of whom are set to enter the open market. It will be interesting to see if the Stars are going to re-sign Benn.
