<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Scooter81</b></div><div>Marchment and Hintz have definitely found some solid chemistry together. I’d like to see them play together for the first week or so of the season and then try Robertson with Hintz. If Marchment has better chemistry with Hintz than Robertson and Hintz, Marchment will play with Hintz.

Gurianov has found his confidence again. He could possibly play on line one instead of Pavelski. Unlikely in my opinion. Hope he hits 40 Pts.

Benn isn’t a top six player anymore so he will be on line 3. I would put Faksa on line three and also put Dellandrea on line 3 once he comes back.
In the mean time Johnston will be on line three.

That would leave you with a 4h line of Peterson - Johnston - Glendening. Not bad at all. Also once Dellandrea comes back. Studenic will be sent down to Texas.

I’d like to see Suter and Moro get a bit of time. If they don’t do well I’d like to see Lundkvist have some time with Miro. Finally if that doesn’t work play Hakanpaa with Miro.

Lindell in my opinion will play with Lundkvist in the end and Hakanpaa will play with Miro.

In the end Suter will play with Miller. Could healthy scratch Miller and put Harley in but I expect him to sadly start in the AHL. (Texas).

That’s my thoughts on what opening night will look like. The stars are now contenders again with Robertson back.</div></div>

I really hope they don't put Johnston on the 4th line with Glendending and Peterson. He should be in an offensive role so he can get his confidence going, playing with glendening is going to kill any offensive potential for him. But unfortunately by the sounds of it, the third line is going to look like Benn-Faksa-Johnston so hopefully Faksa can contribute something offensively now that he won't be playing with Glendening and Raffl or Cogliano and Comeau

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheMooterus</b></div><div>Don't see the Stars running the risk of losing Kiviranta to waivers when Studenic has already passed through waivers successfully. We may see Studneic at some point this season, but he won't be on the opening night roster.

With Dellandrea being injured &amp; waiver exempt, he likely starts the year in the AHL, allowing Dallas to roster a healthy 13th forward. I'd expect that Johnston and Damiani will both make the roster, with the former in the lineup and the ladder battling with Kiviranta for the last lineup spot with the other filling the 13th forward role. Once Dellandrea is healthy, you'll likely see Damiani sent to the AHL to make space on the roster for him. This would also push Kiviranta to the 13th forward role (if he isn't already there to start the season).

Robertson-Seguin-Pavelski
Marchment-Hintz-Gurianov
Peterson-Benn-Johnston
Glendening-Faksa-Damiani
Kiviranta</div></div>

Yeah sending kiviranta down over Studenic was just to maximize cap space, but I do think that he will end up as the 13th forward. As for Damiani, I think it would be more beneficial for him to play in offensive top 6 role in the AHL rather than on a 4th line with two guys with little to no offensive contribution. If Johnston doesn't stick after the 9 games, then maybe you can call up Damiani and put him on the line with Benn and Peterson. DeBoer had said that he penciled in Dellandrea on the starting roster before the injury, and I think since the injury isn't too serious he will get his spot back as soon as he's healthy.

Thread: Lets do it like that
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>justaBoss</b></div><div>Based on the preseason I wouldn't be surprised if Butcher was the guy in, he's been decent. Same goes for Ryan Shea.

Damiani can take Kivi's place if necessary. Dellandrea starts on LTIR and might be relegated to AHL should it come to that. Well, him or Olofsson.

And yeah the Robo contract is more of a middle finger contract for people here who says that DAL can't afford him. We can, if our owner would just accept reality as it is.</div></div>

Yeah ok but what's the reasoning for keeping Damiani on as the 13th forward when you can get him games in the top 6 in Cedar Park? Playing a top 6 role in the AHL will be more beneficial to his development than playing a game every now and then in a bottom six role with Dallas. As for Dellandrea, there is no point in putting him on LTIR as it provides almost no cap relief, just send him down or keep him as the 13th forward till he's healthy because worst case scenario he'll only miss the first 7-10 days of the season. I could see Butcher making it as the 7th defenseman and having Harley starting out in the minors, although ideally I would like to see Miller as the 7th and Harley in the top 6.

Thread: What has Nils Lundkvist done to prove that he is still worth a 1st round pick
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheMooterus</b></div><div>Giving up a 1st in a deep 2023 draft WITHOUT having the Rangers take back any kind of salary is a pretty significant L from Jim Nill

And I say this as someone who like Lundkvist.</div></div>

Feel like Stars have done a good enough job of building up the pipeline that trading away the first even in a deep class is not going to be as big of a deal as people think. Obviously that's a different story if the Stars miss the playoffs but if they make it then losing the pick won't matter as much. You say you like Lundkvist so you know how good his potential is and how good he can become, so giving up what should be a later first for that is more than fair. Time will tell but I think it is too early to judge Nill for trading the first
