After some deliberation, the Stars decided to make a qualifying offer to Tom Wandell. The 25-year-old had six goals and 15 points this past season, but some felt he wasn't worth keeping with the newly-acquired center, Cody Eakin, in town. Dallas waited until the last minute to make a decision. Wandell was one of 10 Stars to get offers, headlined by Richard Bachman and Jamie Benn.
