Wyatt Johnston, Roope Hintz and Jason Robertson are the new top line for the Dallas Stars this past week. On today’s episode of Locked On Stars, we look into how good is this trio. They certainly past the eye test and have been able to produce over the past four games together, but where do they stack up amongst others in the NHL. Joey looks at some of the analytics and finds the line is amongst the top in categories such as Expected Goals Per 60 and Expected Goals Against Per 60. Of course this is a small sample size because they have only played 45 minuted together, but Joey compares them to Matt Duchene’s line and why he believes you can expect them to be one of the best lines in hockey. The second segment begins giving updates on the injury to Craig Smith, and how that may benefit Ty Dellandrea who has been the odd man out the last month. Jake Oettinger missed last game with the flu, can we expect him to be ready tonight against the Red Wings. Joey looks at Detroit and highlights players such as Dylan Larkin, Alex Debrincet and dealing with the injury of newly acquired Patrick Kane. Speaking of acquiring players, now that we are passed the midway point in the season, what grade would you give the Dallas Stars for their offseason? Joey gives his answer of additions such as Duchene, Craig Smith, and Sam Steel and the impact they have had on the team.

What I liked most about the trades was that every player acquired was an upgrade from their respective replacement.
I still feel like they could have gotten a better deal on Nils the year prior, seeing as he refused to play for the Rangers. Their hands were tied and still made out better on the deal.
I'm not saying our top line is as good but I do think its interesting they're built like the top line in edmonton. Scoring winger? Check. Two way guy on the right wing who kills penalties? Check. Blazing fast center? Check. Just thought it was interesting. Hope they can keep it going
