I was incredibly surprised that Dallas was granted a meeting over a team like Vegas, which I thought would definitely get in there. Pros to him signing in Dallas, it's a warm climate all year round, the team is still young enough to compete, especially now that they finally have a good goaltender who hopefully will stay injury-free this year and he will get to play with his buddies Seguin and Benn. On the Cons side, the Stars did not make the playoffs this season, and that in itself should be telling of where they line up against some of the other teams he's meeting with. As well, the Stars cannot offer him 8 years, it would be 7 max. Not to say it's bad, but the Stars have a new and inexperienced coach, at least at the NHL level. As well, and unlike the Leafs or Islanders, the Stars do not have a captaincy vacancy.
