I was pretty happy with my first two years. I certainly had some spots where I wasn’t that good. But last year, as a whole, I was pretty disappointed with my own play and where the team went as well.
It was kind of gut check time for me this summer and coming into camp this year I’ve got to re-establish myself as a better defenseman within the group and in the league.
Matt Niskanen, talking to Mark Stepneski yesterday, on his disappointment in his performance last season. The Stars have been committed this summer to working with Niskanen on improving his conditioning and to reset his focus on the ice.

Like what he said
He does need to improve over last year, but when you have a not yet 24 year old who is putting in work and has talent you have to keep putting him out there. I can see a mid- twenty Niskanen will respond the right way to adversity. Maybe I’m an optimist or looking too much at Robidas’ history, but what is the risk? Shouldn’t Larsen prove himself in the AHL before bringing him up and how many more wins do you see with Larsen vs. Niskanen. The Stars could make a trade but wouldn’t we just end up with anoth team’s Niskanen?
