Is Seguin Winning It With the Stars?

Boston is probably regretting sending their star 2010 first-round pick Tyler Seguin to the Dallas Stars. He is already off to a monstrous start with the team.

Seguin returns to Boston tonight for the first time since being traded in the summer. And after the first month of the season, Tyler Seguin has clearly proven him to be the best thing the Stars got this reason. Here's a couple of reasons:

Fast Start
It's always good to be off to a fast start, especially for a star player like Seguin. He has 15 points in 14 games and leads Stars forwards in average ice time with 18:45, up from 17:00 last season with the Bruins. He has four multi-point games, compared to the six that he got all of last season. Also, it's a big turnaround for him. He started slow last season and only had one goal during Boston's playoff run. Good for him. If the Stars want to get back into the playoffs, they need his fast start and his production to be able to stay in it.

No controversies
He has no Twitter account. Well, that's good for a player who tends to go on the offensive every time he thinks his reputation is being harmed by others. Gotta have fixed skin to be on Twitter, like Johnny Manziel.

Rich Peverley
He plays center, he's versatile, and he came with Seguin in the trade. He plays on his line and has a checking role that's crucial to how this Stars offense plays. He also kills penalties and already has won 58% of his face-offs.

More options for Lindy Ruff
More flexibility was given to him. Jamie Benn is not back at his position of wing, where he's always been better at than at center. Seguin will probably have to work on his face-offs though. He's only won 37% of them so far. Not good, especially when Kari Lehtonen has problems in net sometimes.

Impact of Loui Eriksson
A former Star, but all might remember him recently from suffering a concussion from a hit by the Sabres' John Scott. He had three points in eight games before going out with that concussion. Even with Reilly Smith, Seguin still outscores them 15-10 and Peverley has seven points so far for the Stars. That's a big contribution and the Bruins got the bad deal by picking up players that couldn't produce for the Stars and are not producing now.

Either way, the Stars look to be the favorites to win this game. Tyler Seguin has fit in beautifully with this role and the Stars are glad to have this guy on their team. Look for them to be a threat. They can score and produce. That's something teams will have to look out for when they're playing them. Anyway, in my opinion, the Stars won the trade and they're winning big on the ice because of it.
