Nill Draws Line in Sand on Stars' Deadline Splash

Jim Nill sits down and lays it out plain: the Stars won't chase any blockbuster deals before Friday's NHL Trade Deadline. With the salary cap squeezing tighter than ever, especially eyeing next year's contracts for their young stars, he's prioritizing long-term flexibility over a short-term gamble. Nill knows the league's rhythm, where last-minute seller pivots can tempt anyone, but Dallas stays disciplined unless a true unicorn like last year's Rantanen haul drops in their lap.
