Eric Lindros is expected to sign with the Dallas Stars in the next day or so, according to a report in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

The paper says that Lindros and the Stars are believed to be finalizing a one-year deal.

''I think it's a great fit,'' Lindros said to the Star-Telegram. ''Looking at the roster there, knowing (head coach) Dave Tippett and (assistant coach Mark) 'Chopper' Lamb from my Philly days ... I feel good about going down there and I'm looking forward to getting back on the ice.''

Lindros, 33, played for the Maple Leafs last season and earned $1.55 million US, but suffered a wrist injury that limited him to just 33 games.

The Maple Leafs offered him a one-year, $750,000 deal, according to Toronto newspapers. The Dallas Stars' offer was reported to be between $1 million US and $1.5 million US. The Edmonton Oilers and Los Angeles Kings have also been mentioned as possible homes for Lindros .

Well hes not in the Northwest division, but if he does sign the Western Conference is just as tough.

If this works out, I like the deal. He won't make more than $2.55 million so its not that big of an impact on the salary cap. If he stays healthy, I think he be an upgrade over Arnott.
