How do you feel about the current Stars team and how the organization has grown since you played for it?: “I’ve been watching when I was done playing every year how is the team doing. When I moved back to Finland, I’m not close there, but I follow and see, of course, understanding more how the organization and how the team is built.
“When we won, we had good skilled defensemen there, but at the same time, they were good defenders, too. Offensive, there’s a good mix there. There’s veteran players that have been around a long time, and they know what it takes. And then you have young guys, who’s bringing a lot of energy. We had that, too. We had good experienced guys and players, and then we had our group that was a little younger. I think you need that. And you need a little bit of inside competition, too, and it’s there.
