It's March 3rd for the Dallas Stars. Let's get into it. Follow and subscribe for more team news every day. Dallas Stars General Manager Jim Neal says the team will skip any major trades before the deadline. Salary cap limits are the main issue, with big raises ahead for key players next season. Thomas Harley just signed an extension that boosts his pay from $4 million to $10.5 million. Jason Robertson heads into restricted free agency, expecting a large new contract, too.
Why is the Dallas Stars GM opting to skip major trades this season?
That leaves little room to add high-salary veterans. The stars have about $7.4 million in current cap space. A handful of unrestricted free agents could depart, freeing up another $3.5 million at most. Even combined, it might not fully cover Robertson's deal without tough roster changes or letting other young players walk. The team wants to hold on to its core group. With under four days until the deadline, the NHL trade market stays quiet after the Olympic break.
How do salary cap constraints affect the Dallas Stars' roster decisions?
Neal plans to manage carefully since strong players always demand top money down the line. Special thanks to our sponsor for supporting this episode. Lay back. Press play. Let the pillow do the rest.
