The Stars have filed paperwork declaring forward\u00a0Tyler Seguin<\/a>\u00a0out for the remainder of the season, including the playoffs, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet<\/a> reports. Under this season\u2019s new rules regarding long-term injured reserve, that declaration increases the Stars\u2019 LTIR pool from its current $3.67MM to roughly $9.7MM ahead of next week\u2019s trade deadline, unlocking more than $6MM in additional cap space.<\/p>\n

Seguin, 34, underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL back on Dec. 16, but the Stars did not issue a recovery timeline. Later that week, Dallas said they\u2019d re-evaluate him following the Olympic break and make a determination on his status from there. Evidently, this week\u2019s testing revealed he\u2019s at least around four months away from returning, ruling him out of a potential Stanley Cup Final run.<\/p>\n

Seguin, whose contract ends following the 2026-27 campaign, will have played just 47 regular-season contests over the past two years, a hair over 25%. He had hip surgery in December 2024 that took out most of his regular season but permitted him to return for the playoffs. He\u2019ll have no such luck this time around, though.<\/p>\n

Even as the 2010 second overall pick deals with several severe injuries in the latter half of his career, he\u2019s maintained his status as a consistent top-six producer in the Lone Star State. Since sustaining a hip injury in 2020 that nearly ended his career, he\u2019s averaged 26 goals and 57 points per 82 games while skating around 17 minutes per game. He\u2019s not sniffing the consistent 70-to-80-point production that defined his prime, but he had 17 points in 27 games this season before the ACL tear and produced over a point per game in his truncated showing last season.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a definite blow to a Stars team that isn\u2019t scoring as much as they\u2019d like this season, but it does allow them to address that issue in earnest by next Friday afternoon. After finishing top 10 in the league in goals in each of the last three seasons, they\u2019ve dropped back to 11th place at 3.33 goals per game this year. In The Fourth Period\u2019s<\/a> latest trade board, David Pagnotta noted Dallas general manager Jim Nill<\/a> has at least worked the phones on names like\u00a0Nazem Kadri<\/a>,\u00a0Blake Coleman<\/a>, and\u00a0Brayden Schenn<\/a>\u00a0up front while displaying interest in\u00a0Luke Schenn<\/a>,\u00a0Tyler Myers<\/a>,\u00a0Justin Faulk<\/a> and others to address their relatively weak right-shot depth on defense.<\/p>\n

None of those pickups would have been possible without moving significant money the other way if they didn\u2019t make Seguin ineligible to play again this season. They were already eating into about half their LTIR pool to stay compliant as things were, leaving them with just under $1.94MM in deadline cap space. That number now jumps to nearly $8MM by shifting Seguin to season-ending LTIR.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Stars have filed paperwork declaring forward\u00a0Tyler Seguin\u00a0out for the remainder of the season, including the playoffs, Elliotte…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":476606,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[377],"tags":[147,5,30,2381],"class_list":{"0":"post-476605","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-hockey","8":"tag-dallas-stars","9":"tag-hockey","10":"tag-newsstand","11":"tag-tyler-seguin"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116146915800431212","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476605","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=476605"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476605\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/476606"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=476605"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=476605"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=476605"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
