Could the Dallas Stars attempt to land a Tkachuk again?
NHL Rumour Report: Jeff Marek on with DMase, Vingan & Daunic on the Dallas Stars: “Dallas tried to get Matthew Tkachuk, they didn’t have the assets that Florida had, and I’m pretty sure that Jim Nill would move heaven and earth to try to usher in someone like Brady Tkachuk.”
We is probably not there yet, but there’s going to be a degree to have the conversation about Jon Cooper’s future with the Tampa Bay Lightning
Each day Faceoff: Jeff Marek, earlier this week on the long run of Tampa Bay Lightning head coach Jon Cooper. Cooper has some term left on his deal and so they’re still a competitive team, and he’s likely back, but sooner or later, there may be the conversation.

Tyler Yaremchuk: “4 straight first-round exits for Tampa Bay. Is that just wishful considering from some Canadian fan bases?”
Marek: “I believe Tyler is true here. Like at a certain point, like all of us just assume that Jon Cooper’s all the time going to be the coach of the Tampa Bay Lightning.
And he should still thoroughly be the pinnacle coach of the Tampa Bay Lightning, and so they may spin this thing back. And we don’t know what the long run for Victor Hedman is. We don’t know whether Darren Raddysh goes to hit free agency.
But they’re still an elite team here. And perhaps Julien BriseBois says we’re going to plug a few holes here and spin this thing back, and Jon Cooper’s our guy, and that’s the top of it. He still does have some term, undecided whether it’s one or two years remaining on his deal, but he does still have some term.
Or does Julien BriseBois say ‘Like, Okay, we’d like to make a choice here. Players aren’t going anywhere. We still have a competitive and elite team within the National Hockey League.’

All of us assume that Jon Cooper is all the time going to be the coach, but there may be going to be a day when Jon Cooper isn’t the coach of the Tampa Bay Lightning. Are we there yet, now? I don’t think so, but I don’t think that it’s something that we must always just brush off and say it’s not even a conversation, because, as Tyler’s point, I believe it’s.”
