from Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News,
The Stars are a team in transition, and this is just 30 games into the transition. Yes, there are moves that can be made, and might be made. But the bottom line is new general manager Joe Nieuwendyk has a budget of $45 million for this season, and there’s no indication that will change, even if Tom Hicks does sell the Rangers.
So then you have to ask yourself – if you were the GM – would you try to roll the dice on a big move in attempt to possibly go after the Stanley Cup this year, or do you stay patient and allow your young players to get more experience?
It’s not an easy decision, and it probably weighs on Nieuwendyk all the time.
The Stars’ problem is they have some key players at important points in their careers.
