Team: 2020-21 Dallas Stars

Initial Creation Date: Jun. 25, 2020

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

The contracts of Hintz & Gurianov may be a little low, but I compared them to the contracts Kapanen and Johnson got from the Maple Leafs. They both had more but points in their season prior to the contracts, but were a year older. So I think as bridge-deals, this could work.
Faksa pointwise had a down year, but I always liked him and his kind of play and hockeysense. He could be a future Selke-candidate, so he'll get a rise. I don't get why so much of the armchair GMs like to see him gone from the stars...
I don't know why Johns is sidelined at the moment, but it may be the same problems as the last two years, so as sad as it is, that means LTIR. Shattenkirk comes cheap becaus the Rangers still pay him more than 6 Millions this year.
As much as I like Dobby, I think he will get more money somewhere else, so I'll give Hank a chance to play one more year and maybe another shot at the cup and he should be cheap thanks to the Rangers again.
Cogs gets bought out not because of his play, rather than the hefty pricetag and the M-NTC. He'll be replaced on the roster with Robertson, albeit they won't have the same role. Janmark gets replaced by the cheaper Kiviranta.
It will still be a big challenge to fit Heiskanen under the cap next year, thats why there's no major FA-signing. My hope is, that Robertson, Hintz and Gurianov live up to their potential and Benn and Seguin get a bounce back season.
