For the Dallas Stars, it's February 27. Here's what's happening. Make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an update. The Dallas Stars are locked in the tight Central Division battle with the Colorado Avalanche and Minnesota Wild. They're pushing for a deep playoff run but face uncertainty with Tyler Seguin's injury status. If he can't return soon, General Manager Jim Neal has his sights set on a trade for Evander Kane from the Vancouver Canucks. New long-term injured reserve rules mean the Stars couldn't carry both Seguin and Kane on their postseason roster anyway.
What trade is the Dallas Stars considering for Evander Kane?
Past deadline splashes, like pursuing big names before, are on hold this year due to tight salary cap space. Still, Kane fits as a low-cost rental with just 10 goals in 57 games. Meanwhile, the Canucks are shifting into rebuild mode after dealing Quinn Hughes earlier this season. A full fire sale at the deadline isn't off the table, and they won't demand a first-round pick for the veteran Kane, which suits the stars who lack those assets. The Avalanche are also dealing with Mikko Rantanen's Olympic injury, but expect him back for the playoffs. For Dallas, this deadline might stay quiet overall, preserving their current core for a cup shot.
