## Resource

Dallas Stars face a defining offseason: Will captain Jamie Benn suit up in Victory Green again, or have fans witnessed his final game with the team? Joey Erickson spotlights Benn’s leadership, locker room presence, and surprising value as a bottom-six forward, questioning if Dallas can afford to lose their heartbeat for just $1 million a year. Key topics include the rapid rise of young talents like Wyatt Johnston, Maverick Bork, and Liam Bichsel, the quest for more postseason scoring, and ongoing Jason Robertson contract rumors. Erickson analyzes cap challenges, potential trade scenarios, and whether Jim Nill can keep Dallas a legitimate contender in a changing NHL. Can the Stars find the perfect blend of youth and experience to finally make a deep playoff run?
