Avs fan, hoping for a Florida championship.
We have 7 forwards who aren't under contract for next year, only one of which is restricted (Dellandrea) with the remainder UFAs. I fully expect Dellandrea will be back. Domi and Dadonov are both UFAs and I would expect we try to keep Dadonov as he'll be cheaper and likely accept a shorter term deal than Domi. This leaves 1 roster spot to fill.FWAppraiser said:
Probably just insurance against an unexpected illness/injury. They're likely just being careful. If nothing else, he'll get to be around the team (hopefully for more than just tonight).
I agree, he has a tougher path to the NHL, but I'm assuming Domi won't be back (not based on anything other than chatter that he loves/loved Chicago and they're about to draft Bedard). Much like Domi, he's more of a creator than a pure goal scorer so he could fill that hole. But he may be stuck until Faksa's contract expires or gets traded.
Stankoven will be up for sure and he could always play out of the C position. Either way, I'm really excited to see him in a Stars uni.
