The Dallas Stars signed defensemen Kyle Capobianco and Luke Krys to contract extensions.
The moves come after the Stars finished the season with a 50-20 record, standing 2nd in the Western Conference.
The Stars signed Capobianco, 28, who appeared in 33 games for the team this past season, totaling five points.
He also played in five games for the Texas Stars of the American Hockey League, putting up four points.
Capobianco brings size, mobility, and offensive instincts to the Stars' blue line, said Nill.
He has skated in 293 career AHL games, recording 220 points and carrying a plus-minus rating of plus-72.
The six-foot-three, 194-pound defenseman won the bronze medal for Canada at the 2015 IIHF U18 World Junior Championship.
Krys, 25, skated in 40 regular-season games and tallied 16 points during the 2025-26 campaign with the Texas Stars.
He finished the season ranking third in goals and tied for fourth in scoring among Texas Stars defensemen.
The Stars are looking to build on their success after losing 5-2 to the Minnesota Wild on April 30, 2026.
And with these contract extensions, the team is bolstering their defense for the upcoming season.
But the Stars still have work to do to improve their standing in the Western Conference.
So they will look to players like Capobianco and Krys to make an impact on the ice.
The Stars' last result was a loss, but they are on a W5 streak in their last few games before that.
Capobianco was originally selected by Arizona in the third round of the 2015 NHL Draft.
He signed with the Stars as a free agent on July 1, 2024.
Krys was originally undrafted before signing with the Stars on March 19, 2024.
The contract extensions are a sign that the Stars are committed to building a strong team.
With players like Capobianco and Krys on the roster, the Stars are looking to make a deep run in the playoffs.
The team's fans are excited to see what the upcoming season holds.
And with the contract extensions, the Stars are taking a big step in the right direction.
But only time will tell if the moves will pay off.
The Stars will look to start the new season strong and make a push for the top spot in the Western Conference.
