In San Jose, Brent Burns led all NHL defensemen in shots in four of DeBoer’s five seasons as head coach. In his three seasons as head coach in Vegas, two Knights defensemen—Shea Theodore and Alex Pietrangelo—ranked top five in shots generated. Below is a table of each defenseman’s career average in points and shots per 60 minutes of even strength play during their time with DeBoer versus time without.
So should Stars’ fans panic about not signing Oettinger or Jason Robertson yet? In my experience in watching the way negotiations have gone with restricted free agents (RFAs) in the past with other NHL teams, I’m NOT worried about the contract negotiations for either player, and I’m very certain that a deal WILL get done for both players before the regular season starts. RFAs are not allowed to sign with just any team they want like unrestricted free agents (UFAs).
Sometimes when the long hockey season wraps up in the Spring, some hockey players like to unwind and relax over the summer. As you saw with the Dallas Stars players, many went back to their home countries to unwind and attended teammates weddings. Unfortunately for Lian Bichsel, some people are disappointed that he wants to relax before his next season starts in the fall.
