What would you sacrifice for a Stanley Cup? Wes and Mark ponder the unthinkable, and more.
It’s never a bad time to overthink your Dallas Stars opinions. But with a new year just around the corner, and the Stars looking like an inevitable playoffs contender once again, it’s a good time to fire up the special holiday hot-takery bakery.
Wes and Mark are on the case, but then again, they’re always on the case. In this episode, they discuss:
- the Tyler Seguin injury,
- the quiet advent of Oskar Bäck,
- the meat and potatoes of the Miro Heiskanen-Matt Dumba pair,
- the historical impact of letting Alex Goligoski walk,
- Jim Nill, and what becomes a legend most,
- and so very much more.
What can the Stars do with Seggy’s LTIR cap space? Tell us in the comments. We’ll discuss your ideas in a future cast. (No, really!)

Plan A and Plan B – Stargazing: A Dallas Stars Puckcast | Defending Big D
The Dallas Stars always knew they had a lot of work to get done in the 2026 NHL offseason. We fans always knew GM Jim Nill had a plan, and it surely involved re-signing both Jason Robertson and Mavrik Bourque.
So do we panic now that Plan A is dusted? Or is a Jim Nill Plan B good enough to keep the Stars rolling?
In this episode of Stargazing, Wes and Mark discuss the battle to keep Robo (and who has a legitimate chance of taking him away), Jamie Benn's new deal, a show-me season for Thomas Harley, what the team needs from Mikko Rantanen, separating fact from fiction in the Stars' salary cap situation…and ever so much more.
So is Joel Kiviranta the good-luck charm we all need to ensure everything will be OK? We're Stargazing, and we're not dismissing the prospect out of hand.
Bonus question: Who are you watching among the Stars' new NHL Draft picks? Let's talk about it at Defending Big D. And please give us a rate, review, or share wherever you get your podcasts.
