The NHL trade deadline now looms only three weeks away (Feb. 27) and for the fourth straight season, it seems the Stars are stuck in no man's land. Dallas isn't quite good enough to make the playoffs (or go very far into them if they manage to sneak in) and aren't quite bad enough to be completely out of the picture. In those past seasons Dallas has actually been buyers on the market. The first of those moves was the huge Brad Richards trade of the 2007-2008 season.
Since that season Dallas has made more big trades near deadline time and most of those have come from a buyer's prospective at the deadline. Lesser names like Brandon Segal and Jamie Langenbrunner have come and gone in ill-fated attempts to bolster for playoff runs.

One of the more unsettling aspects about the Stars' season this year has been the dropoff both in the health and performance of team captain Brenden Morrow. Last year, the club never really felt the loss of James Neal -- regardless of Neal's struggles in Pittsburgh after the deal -- in large part because Morrow was there to step up and produce the second 30-goal season of...
