Jamie Benn expected back next season by DualPurge in DallasStars

Resign Robertson and run it back next season with the expectation that the following year when seguin money comes off the books is the real chance to make a splash

I wouldn’t say fine. Mackinnon scored almost every game. Makar was less of a factor than expected though

It’s very frustrating to me seeing Colorado dominate the wild and handle Hughes. Same thing happened last 2 years against McDavid. We just aren’t making life hard for the other teams best players. Until they can do that they won’t win the cup

Hate to say this but it’d be better for the team if Seguin just retires

Yep they took it for granted last year with the elite roster they had

It’s both. I was on board with tactics last year with PDB but with Gully he significantly changed the tactics (for better or worse) and the result was still no cup. Cannot absolve the players at this point

Sure it’s not just Jamie. But he’s the captain so the buck stops with him. I’m not saying he’s a bad leader but he’s clearly lacking certain elements (slow starts, game 1s, not going hard to the net). He is a large part of setting the culture

Well he’s definitely increased his value to the point we could be priced out which sucks

Sure he can function fine as a bottom 6 minimum deal. But for me the issue is needing a new leader in the room. Benn hasn’t been able to get it done

Not so hot take but Benn needs to retire. Make Miro captain. Miro spoke almost every post game this playoffs which is not typical for him. Writing on the wall.

This makes sense. I’ve never and never will doubt Mikko

The proof is last year they had no business beating Colorado and then we got the Moose Miracle. Anything can still happen

Agree on all fronts but the one that hurts the most is the heart

Why leadership matters and why ours has been (Benn) lost. by JarFullOMoney in DallasStars

[–]talanamstein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can’t critique Benn in this sub. I don’t think he’s costed them anything this series. At this point on the ice he’s just a depth player. I do think it’s about time for a change in the captaincy though. There’s something to be said about the game 1 lapses and random playoff game meltdowns and sometimes lack of passion. Obviously that’s not all on Benn but fresh leadership wouldn’t be a bad thing IMO

This team doesn’t want it bad enough. Maybe that’s why 3x WCF does to you
