Jere Lehtinen Stays A Star

30Jun09

The Dallas Stars signed Jere Lehtinen to a one-year $1.5 million contract (with a possible $1 million more in incentives) today. This is a major paycut for Lehtinen, who made $4.1 million last season.

His willingness to take a hometown discount is great news for the Stars, and will hopefully serve as an example to other players looking to sign with Dallas.

The official release is here.
