EDGE Analysis

Stars CEO Jim Lites and owner Tom Gaglardi aren't mincing words when it comes to their opinions about Benn and Seguin, having gone as far as exchanging expletive rants with one another about how they feel about each player's been performing. "We are a stars-driven league, and our stars aren't getting it done," Lites said. "It's embarrassing, and no one writes it. Write it!" Benn has 30 points (15 goals, 15 assists) in 38 games this season, but there are actually 66 players in the NHL with more points at this juncture. Suffice it to say, the Stars need much more from their team captain, especially with Dallas struggling to ascend near the top of a tightly contested Central Division.
