Stars land top free agent Matt Duchene on team-friendly deal

The Dallas Stars signed free agent forward Matt Duchene to a one-year, $3 million contract after he was bought out by the Nashville Predators.
The deal is seen as an outstanding value for the Stars and provides scoring depth to an already talented lineup.
Duchene chose the Stars because he prioritized fit and a chance to win the Stanley Cup.
Though the Stars didn't necessarily need more scoring, Duchene can be an important piece for a Cup contender.
The deal allows Duchene a fresh start after his previous contract became an overpayment, and the Stars get him for what he can provide at this point in his career.
