Kinda funny that Lundkvist could be an important player down the stretch after Deboer's lack of trust in the playoffs last year. I think he has been a far more consistent and better player than Dumba this year.
Whatever his injury is, it really came at an awful time for him. Fundamentally, I wonder if DeBoer sees him as not a good fit for the style of playoff hockey he wants to play.
If healthy Lundkvist may not be Mr Right for DeBoer, but he may damn well be Mr Right Now.
It’ll be up to him to seize the opportunity and do the job. The big thing about that opportunity is it’ll likely mean he won’t have to look over his shoulder always worried that a slight bobble would mean a healthy scratch.
From my view, he has been one of the Stars top six D without a doubt & he merited being in the lineup over Dumba regardless of injury.
When he’s back healthy, they won’t really have a choice.
When the Stars get into the playoffs, PDB will likely ride their top 4 all the way to a Cup or defeat anyway.
Yeah, Lundkvist is the ideal person to step up a bit for a few weeks right now. If he can get back to healthy soon, he'd give them a lot more ability to bridge that gap. Such a shame.

However, with the amount of cap$$ now available, he could also shop around…..
He sure could, couldn't he?
Flames will be sellers. Plano native Blake Coleman would be a nice wing addition! He's been on fire the last month.
Not sure Calgary really wants to sell, but Coleman would be covered by a lot of teams if he's available, for sure.
Sigh. I did want to see Harley quarterback PP1, but not like this. Be careful what you wish for and all that.
Now we know whom to blame!!
