Jamie Benn, at 33-years-old, saw his production dwindle over the last couple of seasons. In 2021-22, he put up 18 goals and 46 points in 82 games. His cap hit is $9,500,000 annually for the next three seasons.
Seguin has seen a significant drop off as well. 2021-22 was his worst point production since his rookie season. He only put up 24 goals, 49 points in 81 games which doesn't justify a $9,850,000 cap hit.
Dallas (46-30-6) entered the playoffs as a 1st-wildcard seed, and saw their hopes get shattered when they fell to the Calgary Flames in game 7 of the 1st round.
Will the Stars be able to return to the show next season?
