Signing Mason Marchment leaves the Stars with questions on defense.
Dallas entered Wednesday in the market for a right-handed defenseman that could play in the top-four. John Klingberg filled that role during his eight years in the organization, but he hit free agency without an agreement in place with the Stars. The two sides previously left the door open for a reunion, and that chatter picked up as Dallas and Klingberg each looked to fill needs.
But the door is all but closed on Klingberg now.
