Dallas Stars Daily Links: Seguin on the Stars’ Summer

Posted on by Tyler Mair

The Dallas Stars had a very successful free agency, landing former San Jose Sharks captain Joe Pavelski among others. And star center Tyler Seguin couldn’t be more excited about it:

“When you see a GM make moves like going to get a guy like Joe Pavelski he’s telling the whole team ‘Our window’s open, we’re going to win the Stanley Cup…’ As a player on the team you get even more excited when you see these moves happening in the summer. You’re always working hard in the gym, but you’re even more dialed in now because you know they’re all-in so you want to be all-in and make sure you don’t let your teammates down.”

Skeptics will point out how the Stars have “won the off-season” before and that it didn’t amount to anything. But this time around, Seguin expects things to turn out differently:

“I think our team’s a competitor,” Seguin said. “I want people saying we’re a competitor. I want our expectations to be very high. I think we’ve always had excuses when it’s come to new coaches or a new staff. But there should be no more excuses… We’re all-in, I’m all-in and looking forward to a great year.”

You can hear more from Seguin in Sean Leahy’s interview here.
