The Dallas Stars have secured veteran defenseman Esa Lindell with a five-year contract extension, paving the way for other players to consider their futures with the team. With nearly half of the roster set to become free agents next offseason, key players like captain Jamie Benn and goalie Jake Oettinger are on the radar.

Despite his strong performance, Benn has expressed a desire to focus on winning this season before discussing his contract. Oettinger, on the other hand, is in line for a significant payday as he approaches arbitration eligibility.
