| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | Tyler Seguin  ActiveTyler Seguin finished fourth in the league in Lady Byng Trophy voting and sixth among candidates for the Hart Trophy. He moved to center in 2013-14 during his first season with the Stars, while racking up a personal bests with 37 goals and 84 points in 80 matches. Seguin also was assessed just 18 minutes in penalties. Jun 26 |
| 2 | Jason Spezza ActiveJason Spezza insisted that his desire to leave the Ottawa Senators didn't stem from a need to escape the spotlight. Spezza instead said it was about moving to a situation where he would have a better chance to win the Stanley Cup. The Dallas Stars certainly qualify as a team that's in a better position to compete for a championship than Ottawa. While Spezza was clearly the Senators' best forward, he'll be joining a Stars team that already features Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn. That will allow them to use Spezza on the second line to provide them with some offensive depth. Jul 8 |
| 3 | Cody Eakin ActiveCody Eakin is expected to fall to the third line now that Jason Spezza has been added to the Dallas Stars. That's good news for the Stars because it helps solidify their bottom-six, but obviously it'll be less pleasant for Eakin owners. He had 16 goals and 35 points in 81 games last season and isn't worth drafting in standard fantasy leagues. Jul 2 |
| 4 | Vernon Fiddler ActiveVernon Fiddler chose to re-sign with the Dallas Stars because he likes the direction of the team. "Honestly, I had better offers. But I wanted to stay with this team and finish the job," Fiddler said. "There is a real attraction to playing here and playing to win, and seeing this through. I think this is going to be a really good team, and I want to be a part of that." In addition to Fiddler, the Stars signed Ales Hemsky, Patrick Eaves and goalie Anders Lindback. The team also acquired Jason Spezza from the Ottawa Senators. Fiddler requested a trade last year because he wanted more ice time, but he stayed the with the club and "everything took care of itself." He'll make $1 million next season and $1.5 million in 2015-16, while continuing to serve as a bottom-six forward. Jul 3 |
| 5 | Travis Morin ActiveTravis Morin has been selected as the 2014 Calder Cup Playoff MVP. Morin was also the regular season MVP in 2013-14. He had nine goals and 22 points in 21 playoff games to lead the Texas Stars to the Calder Cup. He's clearly one of the best players in the AHL, but it's probably too late for the 30-year-old to earn a regular spot with an NHL team. Jun 18 |
| LW | 1 | Jamie Benn ActiveJamie Benn became the first player from the Stars organization to earn a spot on the NHL's First All-Star team. His move back to left wing during the 2013-14 campaign was a successful one because of Dallas' acquisition of Tyler Seguin. Benn amassed a career high 34 goals and 79 points in 81 games. He also received his Olympic ring from Hockey Canada earlier this week. Jun 26 |
| 2 | Erik Cole ActiveThe Dallas Stars won't buy out the final season of Erik Cole's contract. Cole scored just 16 goals and 29 points in 75 games in 2013-14. We wouldn't bet on the 35-year-old bouncing back next season. Jun 17 |
| 3 | Antoine Roussel ActiveStars GM Jim Nill said Antoine Roussel is a big part of the Stars' plans going forward. Roussel inked a four-year, $8 million extension with Dallas. "He's a character guy who has worked hard to become an NHL player," Nill said of Roussel. "It was important for us to get this done with him." Roussel had 29 points and 209 penalty minutes in 81 games in 2013-14. Jul 24 |
| 4 | Shawn Horcoff ActiveShawn Horcoff collected two assists in Wednesday's 4-2 victory over Anaheim. He's still looking for his first goal since Feb. 4, but he does have four helpers in four playoff contests versus the Ducks. Apr 24 |
| RW | 1 | Valeri Nichushkin ActiveValeri Nichushkin registered his first career Stanley Cup Playoffs goal on Monday night. He scored late in the second period of Game 3 in Dallas' 3-0 triumph to get back into the series against Anaheim. Nichushkin has two points in three games. The rookie winger recorded 14 goals and 34 points in 79 games during the regular season. Apr 22 |
| 2 | Ales Hemsky ActiveThe Dallas Stars have signed right winger Ales Hemsky to a three-year/$12 million contract. The Stars have really improved their team up front as they traded for Jason Spezza and now add Ales Hemsky from the Senators. The 30-year-old winger, if he can stay healthy, could hit the 60-65 point mark as the Stars are loading up at forward. Jul 1 |
| 3 | Ryan Garbutt ActiveRyan Garbutt has been fined $1,474.36 for his spear to Anaheim's Corey Perry. That is the maximum he could fined under the CBA. Garbutt was given a major penalty for spearing and game misconduct in Game 5 on Friday night for the incident. He will be eligible to play in Game 6. Apr 26 |
| 4 | Colton Sceviour ActiveColton Sceviour will be able to play in Game 2 against the Ducks Friday night. He slammed face first into the boards in Game 1 and there was some concern that he had seriously injured himself but he did play in the third period Wednesday. Even though he didn't skate Thursday, it seems Sceviour is good to go for Friday's contest. Apr 18 |
| 5 | Patrick Eaves ActivePatrick Eaves has agreed to a one-year deal with the Dallas Stars. Eaves had two goals and five points in 30 games with Detroit and Nashville in 2013-14. He's a decent bottom-six forward that will compliment a promising Stars team. Jul 1 |
| 6 | Rich Peverley  SidelinedDoctors have cleared Rich Peverley to exercise, but the Dallas forward says he has a few more benchmarks to pass before he's deemed ready to handle the rigors of NHL play again. "I'm not exactly sure what's going to happen, but I'm hoping to play and it's got to be under the right circumstances. So we'll wait and see and hopefully I can," Peverley said. "To actually clear me to play is a lot of steps down the road, but they did clear me [to exercise]. . . Now it's just slowly taking steps of getting the heart rate higher. My next step will probably be getting off medication that I'm on to control my heartbeat still. Once I'm off of that we'll see what happens in terms of how my heart reacts to no medication and see what happens when it's stressed." Peverley collapsed on the Stars' bench during a March 10 game and was brought back to life by team trainers and doctors. Jul 12 |
| D | 1 | Alex Goligoski ActiveAlex Goligoski earned two assists in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to Anaheim. He recorded four points, including three helpers, in six games versus the Ducks in the series. Goligoski also posted an impressive plus-7 rating, while averaging 28:30 of ice time per contest. Apr 28 |
| 2 | Trevor Daley ActiveTrevor Daley doubled his postseason goal total in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to Anaheim. He entered the contest with two goals and four points in 34 career playoff games. Daley recorded two markers and added an assist in Game 6 versus the Ducks for his most productive postseason appearance. Unfortunately, he probably won't remember the match fondly, as the Stars were eliminated after they blew a two-goal lead in the last 2:10 of regulation. Apr 28 |
| 3 | Sergei Gonchar ActiveThe Dallas Stars aren't interested in buying out Sergei Gonchar. They might still trade Gonchar if there's a market for him. However, he's 40 years old now and is coming off a rough season, so there might not be many interested parties for the once great offensive defenseman. Jun 17 |
| 4 | Brenden Dillon SidelinedBrenden Dillon returned to action Friday night after being sidelined since the end of the regular season with a lower-body injury. He had 27 shifts and was on the ice for 20:18 and seemed to get through the contest without any setbacks. That said, Dillon was directly responsible for the Ducks' fourth and fifth goals in a 6-2 loss as he made a bad pass that led to a Jakob Silfverberg marker and was knocked off the puck by Corey Perry that led to a Ryan Getzlaf goal. Apr 26 |
| 5 | Jordie Benn ActiveJordie Benn earned his roster spot in Dallas at training camp and he's maintained it over the course of the season. Kevin Connauton and Jamie Oleksiak were viewed as threats to his playing time, but Connauton has had trouble staying in the lineup and Oleksiak has spent the vast majority of the year in the minors. "He's been really solid all year, really," coach Lindy Ruff said of Benn. "He's done a good job of playing simple and keeping within himself, and he's just done a whole lot more of that in recent games." He leads Dallas' defense corps with a plus-14 rating and he's chipped in 17 points in 68 contests. Benn also has 105 hits and 102 blocked shots. Mar 28 |
| 6 | Kevin Connauton ActiveKevin Connauton was the odd man out for most of the 2013-14 campaign, but he may be able to secure a roster spot with the Stars next season. The team is poised to buy out the remainder of Aaron Rome's contract, which could free up room for Connauton. "We have a lot of young defensemen who are making a good push and we need to create room for them," GM Jim Nill said of the Rome decision. If Connauton can fend off Patrik Nemeth, Jamie Oleksiak and Jyrki Jokipakka then he could be in line for a much more permanent slot in the lineup in 2014-15. Jun 16 |
| G | 1 | Kari Lehtonen ActiveDon't be surprised if Dallas trades for a young goalie to back up starter Kari Lehtonen. They have highly touted Jack Campbell in their system, but the 22-year-old can't seem to stay healthy. So the Stars may look outside the organization for an up and coming netminder. One of Boston's young stud prospects Malcolm Subban and Niklas Svedberg may be available. As well, Detroit may be willing to part with Petr Mrazek or Tom McCollum if they re-sign UFA Jonas Gustavsson. Stay tuned. Jun 1 |
| 2 | Anders Lindback ActiveAnders Lindback has signed a one-year contract with the Dallas Stars for $925,000. Lindback will back up Dallas starter Kari Lehtonen and may play 25-30 games. He could play more if the injury-prone Lehtonen, as he usually does, misses considerable amount of time. Jul 1 |
