Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trades, Offer Sheets & Arbitration Dates Are The Themes Of The NHL Offseason | DLLS Stars Podcast
Q: What do you see for the Dallas Stars regarding Robertson and the arbitration timeline?
The hosts expect a possible deal before arbitration, or at least a resolution close to the July 25 date, with ongoing discussions about keeping Robertson or trading him if a favorable deal isn't possible.
Contracts Are Out of Control
Q: What are your thoughts on Adam Fantilli compared to Leo Carlsson, and is Fantilli truly on the same level as Carlsson in the Flyers' eyes?
The guest notes that Fantilli is viewed as a high-potential prospect but not on the same level as Carlsson, highlighting concerns about Fantilli's five-on-five metrics and overall fit, while acknowledging Carlsson's ceiling and fit for the Flyers.
Contracts Are Out of Control
Q: Well, Charlie, you mentioned Danny's name. Do you think he's a target now because of the way that they went about this? Do they feel themselves as a target?
Charlie suggests the Flyers could be targeted by other teams due to their willingness to use offer sheets and big incentives, signaling a strategic shift that others might try to emulate or counter.
Just How Impactful Can the Stars Older Players Be This Season? | DLLS Stars Podcast
Q: Who could step up to fill scoring gaps if the top wingers aren't producing?
Candidates include a top-six left winger to slot with Duchene and Seguin, with Sam Steele and Ritz-Kovian as potential contributors from within the lineup; Harley's offensive development and Bork's absence create opportunities for others to step up.
Just How Impactful Can the Stars Older Players Be This Season? | DLLS Stars Podcast
Q: What are the expectations for Duchene and Seguin given their injuries and age?
Health is the primary factor; if they stay healthy and can play 80 games, Duchene could be a productive player on a top line, while Seguin's value hinges on maintaining peak health and staying in the lineup; overall, their numbers will depend on who they play with and whether they can stay in games.
