Stars Re-Sign Forward Fabian Brunnstrom

The Dallas Stars have announced that they have avoided salary arbitration with right wing Fabian Brunnstrom and re-signed him to a one-year contract worth $675,000. In 44 games last season with the Stars, he had two goals and nine assists for 11 points. He also appeared in eight games with Texas of the AHL, scoring one goal and four assists for five points. Well, this is an affordable signing for the Stars, to say the least. Brunnstrom has struggled mightily at the NHL level since joining Dallas two years ago and hasn't been able to find a lot of consistency in his game. However, he does possess good speed and plenty of offensive skill, and if he can improve his game, he could be a dangerous forward for the Stars. If he has another bad year, don't be surprised if Brunnstrom trade rumors begin to heat up, or, possibly him returning to Europe next summer.
