Open Extended ReactionsThe Dallas Stars have re-signed forward Matt Duchene to a four-year contract worth $18 million. Duchene, who would have become an unrestricted free agent July 1, will count $4.5 million against the salary cap through the 2028-29 season. "We are thrilled to have Matt back with our organization," Nill said in a statement. Duchene was a point-per-game scorer -- exactly 82 in 82 -- in his second season with Dallas. He had played on one-year, $3 million contracts in each of his two seasons with Dallas.
