The All Star Break can't come soon enough for Marty Turco. The Stars have had to ride Turco too much because of a slow start and a lack of confidence in backup netminder Tobias Stephan. to make matters worse having no AHL team to allow Stephan to get regular work compounds the problem. The third kink ( a hat trick of a problem) is they have no cap room to acquire a veteran back up to spell Turco. This is caused by Brett Hull's gamble by signing Mr. Motormouth who is now gone but not financially forgotten
