Stallas Dars
I'll be in the minority, but I don't hate the signings. Not sure I'm running him on the top pair, but I get it due to the lack of options. Only thing I'd really change is that if you're giving Robertson that contract, you might as well give him an 8-year deal at that point. I think he asks for $8M on a 7 or 8 year deal, but if you can get him at $7M, you might as well give him the max length contract.

Dallas has Wedgewood, who played very well for them last season, as their backup. Rather just keep the 2nd and bury Khudobin in the minors.

3 at 4.25 is where I'm estimating Oettinger right now
If I had to give an educated guess on the Stars opening night top-9, it would be:
Robertson-Hintz-Pavelski
Marchment-Seguin-Gurianov
Peterson-Benn-Studenic
I could also see Dellandrea or Bourque sliding into that 3C spot and pushing Benn to the 3LW spot and Peterson down to the 4LW

32 in 32 lineups - Dallas Stars
Oettinger's 5-year deal is bad for the Stars. Takes him into UFA status during the middle of his prime. He gets either 2 (RFA), 3 (RFA), or 8 (max length)
Also, Seguin will be the Stars 2nd line center. Benn is likely going to start the year either at C or LW on the 3rd line.

Stars 22-23 I dont know a lot but
Stankoven is the least likely of the 3 to make the opening night roster, IMO.
Bourque is AHL eligible so the Stars have a little bit more flexibility with him on what they want to do, but he's the most NHL ready of the 3.
It really comes down to Johnston vs. Stankoven. With Kamloops hosting the Memorial Cup Tournament next season, I think Dallas sends Stankoven back to the WHL for 1 more year of development, where he can continue to get some work on the wing (where he'll play at the NHL level) and get some guaranteed valuable development time in high-pressure, postseason situations.
With Johnston being as absolutely dominant as he was last season, Dallas has the luxury of allowing Stankoven to get a little bit more development time before putting him in the Dallas lineup.

Career backup coming back from hip and shoulder surgery at 36. Sure we can bury him again but that just takes a spot away from a young guy in texas
A lot of people treat Faksa like a cap dump. He can still turn it around on a new team or even in Dallas. He was overused by Bowner the passed 2 seasons.
28 with 3 years left at 3.25. It shouldnt be that bad of a trade.</div></div>
Eh maybe, but if you believe any of the reports coming out of Dallas, it sounds like he's on the ice skating and trying to work his way back. I don't know if he'd be putting in the effort to come back if he was planning on retirement. It's certainly possible that he gives it a go & finds out that his body just can't do it anymore (ala Ben Bishop), but until I hear anything from a reputable source that states that then I'm going to keep in the mindset that he'll return at some point this year
As far as Faksa goes, he is a cap dump right now. His offense is abysmal (to be expected. I don't judge him on his offense), but the area of his game that he was signed for was his defense and that has taken an absolute nosedive since he signed his contract extension with Dallas, all while playing for extremely defensive-minded coaches. The only area of his game that he is currently even above average at is the faceoff dots (where he excels). In this cap environment, with his lack of production, and with the term remaining on his contract the Stars are going to have to pay a mid round pick MINIMUM to get a team to take his full contract from the Stars.

For Dallas? Yes. For Arizona? No. If Dallas has to dump a contract, I don't see them dumping BOTH. They'll pay someone a 3rd round pick to take one of the two, or they'll bury Khudobin in the AHL (like they did last season).

Hart has not had a full season (postseason included) like Oettinger had last year.
At the end of the day, you can have your own opinion on the matter, but the exact reason you think Vegas should trade for Oettinger is the exact reason that Dallas won't trade him.

Sampo Ranta is an AHL player that so far has shown very little that proves he is going to be any more than that & that 2nd round pick is going to be a very late 2nd, not to mention it’s not even in the next draft. There’s just not nearly enough value for Dallas to entertain trading away an 80-point player & arguably their biggest trade chip that happens to be coming off the best season of his career.
If Dallas moves Pavelski to a contender at the 2023 trade deadline, it’ll be for a 2023 1st Round Pick & then some.

Even as a rental, if he plays anywhere close to the level he's played at over the last 2 years, Pavelski costs Colorado AT LEAST a 1st Round Pick; especially when you consider the fact that the Avs are a division opponent & it's going to be a very late 1st Round Pick.

Not comparing him to Shesterkin, Markstrom, or Vasilevskiy (though his numbers are comparable to Vasi through each players first 2 full seasons). I'm saying that he's one of the only young goalies in the league that even have that kind of potential.
Worst case for Dallas, Oettinger doesn't hit that elite level and is still a back end, top-10 goalie. Best case scenario, he challenges for Vezina's at some point in his career. Either way, he's not the kind of player you trade away simply because contract negotiations are taking a while.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>trevorstanley21</b></div><div>If dallas can find another goalie, even a short term one until lehner is ready the next year, then they win this trade</div></div>
Dallas is trading a 23-year old, currently fringe top-10 goalie that looks like he's going to be a top-5 goalie for the better part of the next decade. He plays the most valuable position on the ice. Sure, Marchessault brings offense, but it doesn't matter when we have a questionable defense and a bad goalie duo. Dallas does not win this trade
And you're too high on Lehner. Even when he comes back healthy, what gives Dallas the belief that he's going to be anything more than the average goaltender he was last season? Add another year to an injury prone goalie & what makes anyone think that he's even going to be able to come back and handle the kind of load that starting goaltenders are expected to handle?
Does Vegas need a goalie? Absolutely. Is Oettinger the answer for them? Not unless they are willing to send out a $10M+ offer sheet.

Oettinger To Vegas Blockbuster Re Offer Sheet Threat
Stars decline the trade and force Vegas to send an offer sheet that they then match.
Dallas isn't trading a 23-year old goalie of his caliber. Oettinger's camp currently has very little leverage in contract negotiations. They have no arbitration rights and Dallas owns his RFA rights. If he doesn't play in Dallas, he doesn't play this season. Will Nill budge on the salary to get a deal done? Probably at some point, but he's shown before that he has no issues dragging these things well into August and into training camp.
The only realistic offer sheet Vegas could offer would max out Oettinger's contract at $6.3M. Pricy? Yes. Do the Stars match? Absolutely. The only offer sheet that would give Dallas pause would be the $10M+ offer sheet that would give Dallas four 1st Round Picks & let's be honest...Vegas isn't going to offer that.

Dallas isn't paying 3x what they're paying Hakanpaa for Tyson Barrie, who is almost as useless at 5v5 as any defensemen in the league, and they for sure aren't giving up a prospect on top of it.
Paying $4.5M for a guy that can only be even remotely effective on the powerplay is bad cap management, and for a team with no cap space to spare it's just not a good fit.

hmmm
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>siamro</b></div><div>CF shows $33.3M available with 11 spots taken.
I can't see Hintz getting more than $7M and by next year we should see Bourque, Johnston, Dellandrea and possibly Stankoven making the line up and each is less than $900K.
That leaves you with about $15.3M left to fill between 5-7 spots. This is also based on the cap only increasing by $1M and I believe that to be conservative.
I don't think the cap should be an issue in 23/24 and if there is a chance to have Kane in the line-up while he's still a point+/game player then I think it could really help this team be a serious contender.</div></div>
Under the “Long Term Outlook” tab, if you scroll to the bottom it’ll show $22.6M in projected salary cap space with the roster you have created above & 13 roster spots accounted for. This is prior to any Hintz or Kane signing.
Hintz is nearly a PPG center who has turned into one of the best two-way centers in the game. A young, 70+ point center, with a borderline elite defensive game (and arbitration rights) will absolutely go for $8M a year on his next contract.
