It's about that time...

to start thinking about the trade deadline and where exactly this team is heading. Things are not looking great right now, with the Stars sitting about 5 points out of a playoff spot just over half of the way in. The West is incredibly tight as we all know, so by this time next week they could well be sitting in the no. 8 spot or damned close to it. Or, they could be tied for 14th. Hard to say. The trading deadline is March 4th, or just about 6 weeks away.

 

There are two scenarios heading into deadline day. Scenario A) has the Stars right in the thick of things and looking to maybe add a piece to give them an extra push for the final playoff push. Scenario B) has the team on the outside looking in, several points out of 8th place and fading fast.

 

The question is, which scenario is more likely? If it's A), what kind of player would you realistically like the Stars to go out and get, and at what cost? And If B), who do you see the team possibly unloading? Again, let's be real here.... if they end up trading people away, it won't be Modano(obvious reasons) and it won't be Turco (horrible contract). But could a Richards or Ribeiro be dealt? Robidas? A young defenseman? Dare I say Jere Lehtinen Himself?

Richards and Ribeiro aren't going anywhere.

I could see Lehtinen moving if we’re out of it.

If the Panthers were shopping Bouwemeister and the Stars were in it, I’d like to see what it’d take to get him. He’d be a good replacement for Zubov if we could get him signed long term.
