| | Following mixed signals, Modano stays in Dallas - The Boston Globe |
 | | Modano re-signed with the Dallas Stars last night, a five-year, $17.25 million contract that will likely keep him with the club for the rest of his career. |
 | | Modano, through his agent, ex-Bruin Brian Lawton, informed the Bruins late Tuesday evening that he would not be headed to Boston. |
 | | Prior to being told Tuesday night that Modano opted to remain in Dallas, the Bruins were willing to pay him more than $5 million a year for the next four seasons -- a move that could have impacted Boston's ability to sign Joe Thornton to a long-term contract. |
