What Do The Stars ACTUALLY Need At The Trade Deadline? | Episode 7-034 | March 1st, 2026

The Dallas Stars are on an eight-game heater and suddenly have cap flexibility after Tyler Seguin was ruled out for the regular season.

So what do they ACTUALLY need at the NHL Trade Deadline?

Ryan, Chris, and James dive deep into Dallas’ deadline strategy — debating whether the Stars should be aggressive buyers, surgical buyers, or go full chaos mode. They break down realistic targets, the impact of Seguin’s absence, the playoff cap rule change, and whether this season is truly Cup or Bust.

They also discuss Wyatt Johnston’s evolution into a star, the upcoming brutal March schedule, and whether Jim Nill needs to push his chips to the center of the table.

If the Stars don’t win the Cup this year… is it a failure?

In Jim Nill, we trust. Go Stars.
