Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity.  As such, we are very happy to present our post 2022/23 revision of our top 50 Dallas Stars.

As for all of our top 50 players in basketball we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Hockey League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, Dallas had an excellent season, and made it to the Western Conference Final.  The year generated three new entries and multiple elevations.

As always, we present our top five, which had a new number five.:

1. Mike Modano

2. Sergei Zubov

3. Jamie Benn

4. Marty Turco

5. Tyler Seguin

You can find the entire list here.

Notably, Benn was unable to surpass Zubov for the #2 spot, and remains at #3.

Seguin made it to the top five, after being ranked #7 last year.

Defenseman, Miro Heiskanen, rocketed to #33 from #49. 

Another Defenseman, Esa Lindell, moved up five spots to #40.

The highest of the three debuts is Left Wing, Jason Robertson, who was a First Team All-Star last season.  He enters at #37.

Fellow Left Wing, Roope Hintz, makes his first appearance on the list at #42.

Veteran Center, Joe Pavelski, debuts at #45.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

4. Marty Turco

An excellent stickhandling Goalie, Marty Turco played nine seasons with Dallas after being an elite NCAA player with the Michigan Wolverines.  Turco would have a 262-154-63 record with Dallas and never had a losing season and would also twice lead the NHL in Goals Against Average in Save Percentage, the second of which was good enough to earn him a Second Team All Star slot and a runner-up for the Vezina. 

268. Marty Turco

Marty Turco played for the University of Michigan where he would help the Wolverines win the Frozen Four twice.  He would slowly work his way up the Dallas Stars system and in his rookie season he played 26 Games and was the leader in Goals Against Average and Save Percentage but he was still the team’s backup until his third season when Ed Belfour signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs.  In his first full year as the Stars’ starter he would again finish first in GAA and Save Percentage while finishing as the runner-up for the Vezina and earning a Second Team All-Star selection.  He would finish fourth and fifth in Vezina Trophy balloting the next two seasons and was a three time All Star over his career, which was predominantly spent in Dallas.
