2. Dallas Stars: Jason Robertson — Roope Hintz — Joe Pavelski

The Stars are a team that looks like it will likely be on the fence of playoffs or not, but their top line will give them a chance night in and night out.  And it is mainly due to their two young and rising stars, led by Jason Robertson.

Robertson has only played two full seasons in the league, but he has been a threat from the start and with how much skill he has, he is going to be one of the best superstars in the league very soon.

Roope Hintz is another young and blossoming player and is on the trajectory of being one of the best NHL centers in the future.

Joe Pavelski is 38, but he is another player who has been the definition of consistent, and there is a reason the Stars re-signed him for another season.

Even though this Stars team has many holes and losing John Klingberg will hurt, there is absolutely nothing to not love about this line.
