PLAYER PROFILE: [What should Stars expect from Seguin this season?]

Seguin said he has exchanged text messages with Perry and got to know Pavelski better this summer

"I think they're going to be great for our locker room," Seguin said. "I think Perry's going to come in with a chip on his shoulder. Just from talking to him, I know he wants to win again and he's going to bring a lot.
"Obviously Pavs, I think the biggest thing with him in San Jose, when he got hurt (during the playoffs), seeing how that team gathered around him and went to work, I think he's something special in the locker room and I can't wait to see him."
The Stars earned playoff berth for the first time in three seasons in 2018-19, knocking off Nashville in the first round before falling one win shy of the Western Conference Final with a Game 7 loss to eventual Stanley Cup champion St. Louis.

Seguin, entering the first year of a
new eight-year contract extension with Dallas

"No excuses this year," he said. "We know what to expect, and let's raise our expectations and go to work in a couple weeks."
