With the Stars sliding out of playoff contention and all the injuries you think any of their current defenseman will be available before the TDL is over?
i don't like doing the lines-thing in here but i'm not a big fan of the blogged lines
couturier should stay with read and simmonds on the second line and voracek should move up with hartnell/giroux. - Don'tForgetTocchet
Looking forward to Cooter seeing extended 2nd line minutes/ maybe some PP time. Maybe they could throw him a bone on the PP? I know Shelley really earned his time yesterday on the unit, that was great to see

The next few weeks will tell. After the All-Star break, the club will have Jamie Benn and Mike Ribeiro back and the club should have a healthy lineup for the first time since October. If the team does not climb back into playoff contention with the next few weeks, I think you could see some moves.
From what I've heard, about a dozen teams have asked the Stars about the availability of Nicklas Grossman. But the Stars want to re-sign him to a long-term contract before he hits the UFA market this summer.
Sheldon Souray got off to a tremendous start this season but has had injury issues and his play has really come back down to earth. Perhaps he could be moved if the Stars do not pick up after the break.
The Stars would be happy to deal Adam Pardy, who has been a bust this year, but I don't see too many teams who would want to take on his contract.
Mark Fistric is an RFA after this season. He may be available in the right deal, although he's bumped Pardy out of the starting lineup and Glen Gulutzan seems to have more faith in him than Marc Crawford did.
