The Dallas Stars have officially filed paperwork declaring veteran forward Tyler Seguin out for the remainder of the regular season and the Stanley Cup playoffs, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
The move comes after Seguin underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL. While the Stars center had reportedly hoped to return to action this year, the filing confirms he will not be back on the ice for the 2024-25 campaign. Seguin has been a cornerstone of the Dallas offense, and his absence represents a significant loss for the roster as they prepare for the postseason.
By ruling Seguin out for the duration of the season, the Stars will receive full salary cap relief for his contract. This provides the front office with maximum financial flexibility heading into the NHL trade deadline, allowing the team to potentially add major pieces to the roster for their upcoming playoff run.
