Dallas Stars 2025-26 NHL Betting Lines
Dallas Stars head coach Pete DeBoer had a meltdown on the bench during the deciding game of the playoff series with the Edmonton Oilers. He pulled Jake Oettinger early in the game and repeatedly berated his players, who turned on him in the postseason meetings. Thus, Dallas will have a new head coach for the 2025-26 season. DeBoer led the New Jersey Devils and San Jose Sharks to the Stanley Cup final earlier in his career but was not able to hoist hockey’s Holy Grail. But many gamblers saw Dallas as a team that could win it all in the 2025 future markets. Dallas remains one of the most complete teams in the NHL. As good as Dallas is, it proved to be no match for the Edmonton Oilers in the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Edmonton eliminated Dallas in the Western Conference Final 4-1. Overall, DeBoer did a good job, but he needed to regain his composure when it mattered most after losing it.

Off-Season Moves for 2025-26
In: Radek Faksa, Vladislav Kolyachonok
Out: Mikael Granlund, Evgenii Dadonov, Mason Marchment, Cody Ceci, Matt Dumba
The Stars had one mission this offseason: fit under the cap. Dumping Mason Marchment and Matt Dumba fit the bill, and what remains should still be a good team. There are internal solutions to both that minimize their losses, especially for Dumba, whose game is closer to the territory of addition by subtraction. Vladislav Kolyachonok looks like a boilerplate third-pair guy, but even that feels like an upgrade on Dumba.
For many, the big loss on paper is probably Mikael Granlund. The Stars are more than deep enough to survive his absence. His empty-calorie points probably won’t be missed much — especially if someone such as Mavrik Bourque takes a big step.
The decisions made by Stars GM Jim Nill that paved the way for his team to advance to three consecutive conference finals are now why the team can no longer use that roadmap.
Extensions for the Stars' core players used a significant amount of cap space, which is why they traded Marchment to Seattle and allowed Ceci, Dadonov, and Granlund to sign elsewhere.
Their most notable move to date was signing Faksa, who returned to the club that drafted him in 2012 after spending the previous season with the Blues. But even that decision left the Stars needing to clear cap space to become compliant by opening night, and be in a position to add should they feel it's necessary.

Dallas Stars History
Founded as the Minnesota North Stars in the 1967 NHL Great Expansion, when the league doubled from six to 12 teams, the franchise moved to Dallas in 1993. When the North Stars couldn’t get a new arena, they decided to head to Texas. The Dallas Stars were a major hit from the very start and went on to win the 1999 Stanley Cup championship.
When the Stars arrived in Dallas, it was at the height of the Dallas Cowboys dynasty, in which they won three Super Bowls from 1992 through 1995. The Cowboys were bigger than life in those days, yet the Stars could carve out a niche for themselves. Dallas played to sellout crowds for their first several seasons in Big D. Although interest eventually waned on the Stars, that was due to a mediocre product on the ice more than a hockey problem.
In 2011, Tom Gaglardi purchased the Stars after a year of negotiations, during which the franchise had undergone bankruptcy. Gagliardi worked hard to rebuild the front office. Most importantly, he brought back Jim Lites as the team president. Lites had previously served in that role for the Stars under previous ownership.
Gagliardi hired general manager Jim Nill in April 2013. Nill was an executive for the Detroit Red Wings before taking the job. At that time, the Wings were considered a modern NHL franchise in which Nill had a leading role. The management team has brought the Stars back to respectability and a berth in the 2020 Stanley Cup Final.
Dallas hosted the Winter Classic at the famed Cotton Bowl on January 1, 2020, in front of over 85,000 fans in a 4-2 win over Nashville. It was the ultimate testament to their popularity in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
