The Stars have been one of the most successful teams in the NHL for the last couple of years. How long do they have where they are in win-now mode? Robert and Gavin discuss the Stars' future and how, even though they signed Mikko Rantanen to an 8-year deal, Robert says it’s not realistic for them to be a contender for all 8 of those. Over these next 3 or 4 years, they have as good a chance as ever to win the Cup. The guys transition into Robert’s article about Tyler Seguin’s contract and discuss how it’s not a problem for the Stars. Gavin suggests a load management approach for Tyler Seguin this year, as he is coming off an injury from 2024. Gavin and Robert then do a deep dive on the newest member of the team, Nathan Bastian. Mikko Rantanen cracked the top 10 for Matt Larkin’s Fantasy Hockey top 300 player rankings. What other Stars cracked the top 100?
