I disagree. They have the occasional bad game but since October. they have the best record in the NHL. This is a Cup team without a doubt.

General Manager Jim Nill worked the phones hard all week, and to be fair, he was dealing with a stacked deck.
The Stars already had traded away their second- and third-round picks in 2020 (the second for Marc Methot and the third as part of the deal for Mats Zuccarello) and also missed out on the second- and third-round picks in 2019 (the second for Zuccarello and the third for Ben Lovejoy). So those are four plum prospects that won't be available for Dallas.
That situation means the prospects the Stars do have -- like Jason Robertson, Thomas Harley, Jake Oettinger and Ty Dellandrea -- are all the more important.
Bottom line, Nill didn't have the currency to get in a lot of these talks.
"The past couple years, we've made a lot of trades and used a lot of picks, and I went into this deadline with the mindset that we just can't keep doing that," Nill said Monday. "So, lots of talk, but in the end, nothing really came close."

So the facts say they had plenty of reason to be conservative, and you can definitely understand their strategy. But the facts also say this kind of team doesn't win the Stanley Cup very often.
While teams that keep the score low almost always have a chance to succeed in the playoffs, the majority of those teams find a way to be in the top half of the league in scoring. The Stars currently rank 25th in goals for per game at 2.66 and second-to-last in 5-on-5 scoring.
That blows for those who have cut the cord to go streaming. Wife and I almost did the same, actually just about hit the subscribe button for YouTubeTV, but were happy in the end in our negotiation w/ DirecTV.Legal Custodian said:
PSA:
YouTubeTV just announced they'll no longer carry the Fox Sports regional networks beginning March 1st.
Can't you watch them on the Fox Sports Go App on Roku, Amazon Firestick, etc?joshpettett said:

My YouTube account just renewed yesterday, if I had known I would have already cancelled & signed up with Hulu. Oh well need to watch the stars so I'll have two subscriptions this month.

NBC is so biased towards Boston. Apparently Boston commits no penalties in their opinion. Meanwhile they seem to think the Stars should be permanently in the box.
