Dallas Stars: Blackout Dallas Predicts 2015-2016 Season

The Dallas Stars are preparing to embark on an interesting and potentially successful 2015-2016 season.

After a disappointing 2014-2015 campaign where the team never really seemed to get things running, the Stars countered with a big offseason filled with top-notch pickups. These pickups included Antti Niemi, Patrick Sharp, and Johnny Oduya. All three have at least one Stanley Cup under their belt and will look to bring that necessary expertise to Dallas.

But there is also cause to be worried about the upcoming year. For example, in September of 2014, Dallas Stars fans along with the league were talking about a potential Stanley Cup run for the team. Instead, some of the seemingly harmless faults turned out to be key errors that buried the Stars seven points back of the nearest playoff spot at the end of the year.

So a new year is upon us, and most Dallas Stars fans are not sure how to feel. Some are counting by the minute for the season to start because they are expecting a deep playoff run this year. Others want to feel hopeful but do not want to be sucked into the hype like last year and end up only sad and hopeless.

We here at Blackout Dallas are excited for the season to begin, no matter what the outcome is. This is mainly because it is getting difficult to think of new topics to write about when there is not much going on (though Tyler Seguin and the rubber ducky is still seared into our minds).

What we did was focus on an array of topics for the upcoming season and each give our honest opinion in regards to the question. We have our predictions formed neatly into a slideshow, so please enjoy!
