The Dallas Stars face a significant challenge with Tyler Seguin sidelined due to a hip injury, potentially for the rest of the season. General Manager Jim Nill is expected to leverage Seguin's cap space, which could be up to $9.85 million, to strengthen the roster.

With the team currently holding over $2 million in cap space, Nill is exploring options to bolster both the second line and the defense. Potential targets include Kyle Palmieri and Brock Nelson from the New York Islanders, as the Stars aim to enhance their offensive capabilities.
