The Dallas Stars went all in at the deadline, bringing in Mikko Rantanen, Mikael Granlund, and Cody Ceci, and sent out Logan Stankoven and three first-round draft picks.

The Sabres have RFAs in forward JJ Peterka and defenseman Bo Byram at the top of the list who could be used to make a big-swing deal. They've also got the No. 9 pick in the 2025 draft, and there's a debate to be had as to whether they should keep that pick or trade it in this kind of move.

The Dallas Stars go into another offseason searching for ways to bolster their roster. While hunting for new talent that fits into the roster, they will continue to toe the line of the NHL Salary Cap.
