May either or both of them land a Joel Hanley-esque contract as a result.

Both guys - much appreciated. I agree, they both deserve to be NHL regulars.

I think these guys were such an important part of the next man up mentality that carried this team so far this year. Capobianco is my 10-year-old's favorite player and I just won a Capo Texas Stars jersey auction for him. Selfishly, I really want Capo to stick around so I can find a way to get it signed. :)

Call the spade a spade...we downgraded for more money. Bishcel / Petro worked so well, we had to break it up. Capo/Lundqvist would have been an offensive d-line to keep the other team off their game, having to rotate from the bruisers (Bisch/Petro), to the scorers (Capo/Lundqvist), to the all arounders (Lindell/Heiskanen). i didn't leave out Harley on accident, either.

Both these guys have played better than Myers. Let Myers ride the pine next year or better yet trade him so we don't have to eat his 1.5 salary.

In my ideal world, Capo would stick around as a 7th D, with both Lyubushkin and Myers gone. Petro would go back to his mentor role with Texas.

I know it leaves Dallas with a bunch of LHD, but Capo's ability to move the puck outweighs any handedness advantages - and we could use the cap "even the 600K that's gained from losing Myers.

Great take. Petro could be a natural fit to move into Curtis McKenzie's Captain role if he doesn't return and sure up the d-line in Texas. We have some promising defensemen in Texas that could use a mentor like Petro on the roster, just like Bischel benefitted from playing with him.

Like Capo a lot real good puck mover and made major contribution last season way better than the play off killer Myers . Issue is if they don’t sign him someone else will that’s why they didn’t put him thru wavers . Need bold action from MR Nill this off season . Get Robbo signed .
