Isn't McCoy's contract up after this year? He may not end up being here next year either.

If you could trade him 4 a pick in the summer I would do it you could easily replace him

Find me a team that replaces their entire starting OL, QB, and RB in one season

Your point sucks, you just wanted to bash Taylor here.

- Stripes77

No....but ok.

Tyrod isn’t here long term. Period. They aren’t going to hire a specific OC to work with a guy with one foot out the door

Should have happened three games ago. He just does not look like he is trying. The effort he regularly showed over the last couple years is not there anymore.

Yes, you just won't admit it

Especially if that's your reply.

Funny how you don't mention the OL and RB's struggling under his system. Just the QB.

One of the leagues best running attacks last year can't run the ball this year.

None of them are here long term. And the QB is what matters most

McCoy is 29, Wood is about to be 32, Invognito is 34, Mills is terrible.

They are going to rebuild the entire offense.

I’m not sure why you would play to your short term players strengths when your main focus is rebuilding the roster, which is in fact their #1 priority

And Dennison does suck, but so did your point

This is a win now league, always has been always will be.

You have a coordinator not putting your team in the best position to succeed. He's a failure plain and simple. Again round peg does not fit a square hole. By the time they get players that could fit that square hole and ready to play in the league Dennison will be long gone.

You’re probably right.

But they didn’t hire him based on the 2016 roster.

The Dallas Stars have announced that goaltender Kari Lehtonen has been granted a leave of absence from the team for personal reasons. As a result they’ve called up AHL goaltender Mike McKenna to back up starter Ben Bishop.

While we don’t want to speculate on the nature of Lehtonen’s personal reasons, the 34-year-old goaltender has not looked good this season in Dallas. In seven starts, Lehtonent has just two wins, a 2.89 GAA and .897 save percentage. This is the big Finn’s 9th season in Dallas and likely his last. His $5.9 million annual salary comes off the books this upcoming offseason.

Here’s hoping the best for Lehtonen and his family.



Maybe it was him and not Price...
