As a college hockey fan I have enjoyed watching former Michigan goaltender Marty Turco play in the NHL. Now that his time in Dallas is up you have to wonder where he is going next? There are going to be some teams needing big time goaltenders and Turco will get a look.
Goaltender Marty Turco's time with the Dallas Stars is over.
General manager Joe Nieuwendyk says the Stars will not re-sign Turco, who just completed his ninth season with the team. Nieuwendyk said Tuesday that he felt it was time to go "in a different direction."
Kari Lehtonen, acquired from Atlanta in February, will go into next season as the team's top goaltender.
Turco, 34, just completed a four-year, $22.8 million US contract he signed in January 2006 that kept him from becoming a free agent at the end of that season.
In 509 regular season games for Dallas, Turco won 262 games with a .911 save percentage and 2.31 goals-against average. He appeared in 47 playoff games.
