DALLAS -- 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.

The 34-year-old Turco just completed a $22.8 million, four-year 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.

Not Washington, you seem to forget Seymon Varlamov will be their top netminder from now on.

PHILLY. We should pick up Boucher for our backup if he becomes an FA. Does anyone know when his contracts up?

He's under contract for next year and then he'll be a UFA.

Turco still has some good hockey left in him. He'll find another team without too much trouble.

He's good but he really needs some mentor other than that piece of shit in Thedore.

Boucher is a career AHLer and Buffalo already has a AHLer backing up with Lalime

Varlamov will be just fine, he did tremendous this year before his injury.

I see the Caps becoming real dangerous, and I mean real dangerous if they start Varlamov in the playoffs, just like last year when they came back from 3-1 to the Rangers when they decided to start Varlamov and pull Theodore.

The Caps have already said they're starting Theodore over Varlomov.

Big mistake if you ask me.

I see him going to Philly if goal tending gets them an early ticket home from the playoffs.

why would we pick up any of those guys when Biron is going to be available. a guy that likes buffalo, is ready to assume the back-up role, did good here. he is a free agent.
