from Mike Heika of the Dallas Stars Blog at the Dallas Morning News,
One of the most beloved and yet most controversial figure on the Stars, Mike Modano certainly inspires strong opinions.
He recently turned 38, and recently told The Ticket he wants to play both of the remaining years of his contract. That’s quite a switch from not being sure he wanted to play even one more season, but that is the way of Modano. He is a great player who actually loves the game of hockey, but doesn’t love the grind of the season.
So how do the Stars take advantage of that? In my opinion, I think they need to give him forced vacations.
