Stars land top free agent Matt Duchene on team-friendly deal
- The Dallas Stars signed free agent forward Matt Duchene to a one-year, $3 million contract after he was bought out by the Nashville Predators.
- The deal is seen as an outstanding value for the Stars and provides scoring depth to an already talented lineup.
- Duchene chose the Stars because he prioritized fit and a chance to win the Stanley Cup.
- Though the Stars didn't necessarily need more scoring, Duchene can be an important piece for a Cup contender.
- The deal allows Duchene a fresh start after his previous contract became an overpayment, and the Stars get him for what he can provide at this point in his career.
