Ryan and Chris hand out final grades for every Dallas Stars forward in the 2024–25 season — and let’s just say some of these report cards got messy. From Mikko Rantanen’s playoff heroics to Matt Duchene’s postseason disappearance, the guys break down who showed up, who didn’t, and what it all means heading into 2025–26.

Other hot topics:

Is Jason Robertson really worth $12M per year?
Why Rope Hintz and Wyatt Johnston still haven’t unlocked their full potential
Jim Nill’s cleanup of the Dumba deal — smart move or expensive mistake?
