## Resource

Dallas Stars bring back captain Jamie Benn for a potential final run at the Stanley Cup. Is this the last dance in Victory Green, or does Benn have enough left to help lift the Cup in Dallas? Joey Erickson breaks down the details of Benn’s one-year, veteran-minimum contract, performance bonuses, and what realistic point production fans can expect from the heart of the franchise. With Maverick Bourque heading to the Nashville Predators on a lucrative $33 million deal, questions mount about Dallas’ left wing depth and how roster moves will shape their playoff chances. The episode also explores the addition of defenseman Kyle Burroughs as a key depth piece following Alexander Petrovic’s departure, and updates the ongoing Jason Robertson arbitration saga. Will the Stars front office move off their young star, or is he still in Dallas’ long-term vision? Insightful analysis, contract talk, and big-picture questions keep Stars fans tuned in as the offseason drama unfolds.
