The Dallas Stars sign Defensemen Esa Lindell to a 5 year extension at a $5.25M Cap Hit

The Dallas Stars have signed 30 year old defenseman Esa Lindell to a 5 year $5.25M Cap hit extension this afternoon. Joey breaks down the contract details, shares hit thoughts and opinions and more on the extension on today's episode of Locked On Stars. Lindell was entering the final year of a six year deal at $5.8M per year, so why did the Stars go ahead and get an extension done a year early? How does this affect players such as Mavrik Bourque, Wyatt Johnston, and Logan Stankoven who need deals after this season. After that, Joey discusses why he's starting to buy in to the Dallas Stars being better now than they were day one of last season. Plus, he shares some Q and A answers from General Manager Jim Nill and Mike Heika. In the final segment, Joey asks what are you most looking forward too next season with the Dallas Stars?
