Jamie Langenbrunner is a Dallas Star again, so the big question in Big D is where does the veteran winger fit in on the team? From our Stars blog, Defending Big D:
Where Does Jamie Langenbrunner Fit In On The Dallas Stars?
Langenbrunner is a right-handed shot off the right wing, which is exactly what the Stars have been needing for well over two seasons now. Adam Burish certainly helped fill a need but the Stars still only had one right-handed forward and while Burish has been a great addition, he’s not exactly the offensive boost that the Stars need from the right wing.
Jamie Benn has been able to alleviate much of that concern but it’s been very obvious -- especially on the power play -- how much the Stars need a right handed shot from the wing.
Langenbrunner instantly fills this void on the roster. Where exactly he’s going to fill that void is the question. With the way that Morrow, Ribeiro and Benn are producing it’s tough to break them up and I doubt that Crawford is going to change up one of the best top lines in the NHL. This means that Langenbrunner likely plays with Steve Ott and Adam Burish on the third line, and gives Ott two very capable wingers with which to wreak havoc.
DBD has plenty more on the return of Langenbrunner.
