Over the course of free-agency, the Dallas Stars brought in many new additions to their team.
On the first day of free-agency, we signed veteran defenceman Andy Sutton and sophomore Jan Hedja. Both defencemen are expected to play in the bottom part of defence, where they will be relied upon to help maintain our defensive record and provide much needed physicality to our team.
On the second day of free-agency, we signed forwards Jason Ward and Ronald Petrovicky, as well as goaltender J.S. Aubin. Jason will take up a role as a bottom-six centre, while Ronald will act as a depth forward. J.S. will serve as our back-up goalie. We also acquired forward Enver Lisin from the Phoenix Coyotes, who will play in our top six beside Mike Modano and Jussi Jokinen. To make room, we placed Jamal Mayers on waivers, where he successfully passed through and will now report to Iowa.
On the third day of free-agency, we rounded off our off-season by signing veteran forward Jeff Friesen to a minor league contract, where he will help mentor some of our young forwards in Iowa.
