Stars Re-Sign James Neal & Matt Niskanen

The Dallas Stars have announced that they have re-signed left wing James Neal to a two-year contract worth $5.75 million and defenseman Matt Niskanen to a two-year contract worth $3 million. Neal's deal averages out to $2.875 million per season, while Niskanen's contract averages out to $1.5 million per season. These are decent signings for the Stars, as both players have lots of promise. Neal brings plenty of goal-scoring depth and offensive skill to the forward lines, while Niskanen provides plenty of offensive skill to the blueline, as well as excellent skating.
