Why Stars’ Ryan Suter is off to a good start, plus a new pairing and a bad penalty

New York Times  

Sample size is tricky. “If you’re going to play with Miro, you have to be be a smart player and you have to complement him,” Stars head coach Pete DeBoer said. Suter is still second on the Stars in time on ice, something that’s bound to happen given him being on a pairing with Heiskanen. DeBoer has already reduced Suter’s ice time by taking him off of the power play but there’s potential to shave minutes down even more. If Suter’s able to maintain his level of play, or even close to it, and Harley and Lundkvist mesh as a pairing, the Stars suddenly have something going for their top-four this season.

One thing that’s been obvious about Pete DeBoer since he took over as head coach of the Dallas Stars last season is that he values consistency in his lineup. DeBoer started the second period out by making changes on all three lines again, as they looked Marchment-Faksa-Dellandrea Benn-Johnston-Smith Dadonov-Duchene-Seguin “Smitty comes, he gives you what he’s got every night,” DeBoer …

Are Stars putting too much on Miro Heiskanen? One question for each defenseman and goalie

New York Times  

Earlier this week, we asked one question for each forward on the Dallas Stars’ roster. At 24 years old, Heiskanen is still young but the Stars need to be weary of over-usage before it’s too late and they’re instead confronted with damage control. This is where the Stars really need Nils Lundkvist to develop and pan out, because although Lundkvist …

Ryan Suter remains with Dallas Stars, and GM Jim Nill ‘baffled’ by ‘level of hate’

New York Times  

For all the public discourse about whether the Stars should or shouldn’t buy out Ryan Suter, it wasn’t a tough decision for the Stars organization. The second buyout period doesn’t apply to a potential Suter buyout because his $3.65 million cap hit is less than the $4 million threshold required.
