Blackout Dallas brings back the Dallas Stars power rankings with its rundown of the best Stars players of the month of November.
One thing that’s great about making these power rankings is classifying players. We’ve been so frustrated as fans with the constant uncertainty and variability of the Dallas Stars – mostly on something as simple as whether they’re a good team or a bad one – that it’s quietly relaxing to analyze individual players and their contributions.
Other struggles include being ineffective away from American Airlines Center, having little depth scoring at even strength, and the Jamie Oleksiak/Julius Honka debacle.
We’re not even two months into the season and we are practically drained from an emotional standpoint. We deserve some sort of assurance.
Fortunately, we still have a lot to be glad about. Jamie Benn is healthy, Tyler Seguin is a sensational two-way force, Ben Bishop has solidified a goaltending spot that has ailed the Dallas Stars for a decade, and Alexander Radulov is essentially Sergei Zubov playing right wing.

Anyways, I should probably shut up and get to the power rankings. If you’re unfamiliar with the format, last month’s power rankings is fit with a decent explanation of our method.
If you are familiar with it, sit back and disagree with us, then prepare to swear at me in the comments section.
Lastly, we like to have some fun with the power rankings, and not all of the listings will come with actual analysis.
Humor is the best treatment for the sickness of sadness, so stick around. Let’s get this underway.
