As the final four teams battle it out for a chance to play in the Stanley Cup finals, it’s become clear, a former member of the Dallas Stars will get to hoist the Cup. Not just any former player, but potentially a former fan favorite. Which of these names do you want to see on the Cup?

Pittsburgh Defenseman Trevor Daley

Daley is the most recent Star of the bunch. Dallas traded Daley and Ryan Garbutt last summer to Chicago for Patrick Sharp and Stephen Johns. As THW’s David Tews reported recently, it was a one-sided trade for the Stars. Meanwhile, Daley now finds himself in a deep playoff run with Pittsburgh.

Chicago ended up moving Daley to Pittsburgh via trade in December. Daley, 32, is playing top-four minutes on arguably the hottest team left in the playoffs. The Penguins fast paced skating game seems to fit nicely with Daley who has always been a great skater.

Daley’s doesn’t have the high-end skills of a top-tier offensive defenseman, and isn’t great defensively, but the former alternate captain of the Stars has always been respected by teammates. Daley was also popular with the fans. He played 11 seasons with Dallas.

Daley was injured during Game 4 against Tampa Bay Friday night.  He has a lower body injury.

St. Louis Forward Steve Ott

For those new to Stars fandom, Ott was Antoine Roussel before Roussel. A fearless agitator, Ott had his best years in Dallas. He played nine seasons with Dallas.

Ott, 33, has battled injuries this season and hasn’t been a big factor in the Blues playoff run so far. Last month THW’s Dustin L. Nelson reported the Blues announced Ott has been diagnosed with Colitis, an inflammation of the lining of the colon.

He plays the game close to the edge. Since the Blues can’t afford to take unnecessary penalties coach Ken Hitchcock (another former Star) has elected to scratch Ott multiple times in this year’s playoffs.

San Jose Defenseman Brenden Dillon

Dillon surprised many so-called experts when he broke into the NHL as an undrafted free agent. After a successful Canadian junior career, Dillon spent 2011-12 with the Texas Stars in the AHL. He split 2012-13 between Texas and Dallas. In 2013-14 Dillon played 80 games with Dallas. He had 17 points (6g, 11a) and 86 pims to go along with a + 9 plus-minus rating.

The Dallas Stars traded Dillon to the Sharks for veteran defenseman Jason Demers in 2014. The jury is still out on this trade but it seems to have benefited both teams. The Stars were looking to balance out their right-handed/left-handed pairings which made Dillon expendable.
