As the Olympic break nears, the Dallas Stars, currently third in the Central Division with a record of 33-14-9, are positioned as buyers ahead of the trade deadline. With limited cap space and a need for a right-shot top-four defenseman, they may consider trading prospects like defenseman Lian Bichsel or right winger Emil Hemming to enhance their roster. Young players like Mavrik Bourque could also be pivotal in a significant trade if it strengthens their playoff push. The Stars’ strategy will be crucial as they face potential matchups against strong contenders like the Minnesota Wild.
