Hey, did you know the season is over? Of course you do, you don't use us for your weekly news breaks, you use us for random bits of knowledge and opinions. In continuing with that tradition, here's a bit of news from the Stars' camp:
Matias Norstrom officially Retires
"The last game against Detroit was my final one," Norstrom said, adding he now intends to focus on his family and get an ordinary job.
Norstrom told a Swedish news paper that he is officially out of the NHL, and out of professional hockey if the rumors of him saying it's Dallas or no where.
Stars sign Toby Peterson
Said Co-General Manager Les Jackson, “Toby is a consummate professional on and off the ice, and he played a key role for us during our playoff run this spring. We look forward to his continued contributions to our club.”
In a two year, one way contract worth $1.1 million dollars the Stars have shown that this boy has what it takes. Don't forget he played more post-season games then regular season: 16 vs 8. More importantly than his limited performance in Dallas is his time in Iowa this year: MVP of Iowa for 07/08 with 21 goals and 30 assists in 63 games.
Stars sign Dan Jancevski
Two years, two ways. Dan will spend much of his time in Iowa wherever Dallas has it's minor leaguers, but his 575,000 to 1.05 million dollar contact will give him plenty of money (and time) to develop into what the Stars see in him. As a reminder, Dan came back to Dallas in a trade for that red-headed step child Junior Lessard to Tampa; completely separate from the trade that lost us Smitty, Halpie and Jussi ... Dan has a terrific opportunity here - expect him to turn it on this year.
