Every era of Dallas Stars hockey, one lineup. These are the highest-rated Dallas Stars legends across the 1960s to today — a full starting six from goal to the top line, chosen by iKnoBall's era-adjusted engine — and the record they'd post over an 82-game season.
Offense is weighted 52%, defense 48% — exactly how iKnoBall scores a roster. Think you'd start a different six? Prove it.
Ed Belfour headlines the group at a 91 overall — the kind of number only genuine all-time greats reach on iKnoBall's scale. Around Belfour, the model fills out a complete six that balances goaltending, a shutdown blueline, and a scoring line across Dallas Stars history, then simulates all 82 games. The result — 69–13 — reflects both the raw talent and how the pieces fit on both sides of the puck.

Build Your All-Time TeamGet the AppBy iKnoBall's era-adjusted ratings the all-time Dallas Stars starting six is Ed Belfour (G, 1990s), Miro Heiskanen (D, 2020s), Sergei Zubov (D, 1990s), Mike Modano (C, 1990s), Brett Hull (W, 1990s), Jamie Benn (W, 2010s). Together they project to a 69–13 regular season.
iKnoBall's simulation projects this starting six at 69–13 over an 82-game season, with an average starter rating of 91. The model runs each game as a probability from the roster's combined offensive and defensive strength, so an all-time team contends for a near-perfect year but nothing is guaranteed.
Each player's overall is era-adjusted so a 1960s Original Six legend and a modern superstar sit on the same 70–99 scale. Offense (center and wings) is weighted 52% and defense (goaltending and blueline) 48%, and only true all-time greats reach the mid-to-high 90s.
