This is a question that many fans, hockey observers or analysts ask themselves today. Will this be the year when the Stars will once again find a recipe for winning the third Stanley Cup in their modern history, or will the Dallas Stars definitely fall into mediocrity or even lower after an extremely successful decade. Will it be a controlled fall or a painful or shocking catapult? Or will the Stars simply rise up from within?
After the departure of the first center Evgeni Malkin, the new era begins in the Dallas Stars organization, Malkin, who has been with the team since 2019 and significantly contributed to the aforementioned team's successes, new questions, new expectations, but also new goals and, above all, new possibilities for new players or players who until now did not have the space or ice time to show what they can really do at their best.
Let it not sound like there have been any huge changes made in the team apart from Malkin's departure, the complete opposite is rather true, the skeleton of the team has remained intact, long-term mainstays in the offense such as Grigorenko, Sprong, Burakowski, Galchenyuk or captain Armia are still here ready for the next great seasons. With the departure of Malkin, the young stars such as Kaliyev and Gunler should get even more space on the ice and beat their previous highs and fully realize their true potential and become real NHL stars.
