Tim Cowlishaw, sports columnist for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, author of Drunk on Sports and panelist on ESPN's Around the Horn, answers your questions about the Cowboys, Rangers, Mavericks and local college sports in a live chat recently. Here are some highlights:

Do you think the Stars would ever consider trading John Klingberg? What would it take to have him traded?

Cowlishaw: I think anything is possible but why would you want to do that? His value isn't exactly at a high this year. So you're going to get rid of your play-making defenseman at a low price? Unless he was part of something that allowed the Stars to fix the goaltending issue once and for all, I don't see that one.

If this Lehtonen/Niemi experiment continues to fail how much longer do you think Stars ownership will give GM Jim Nill?

Cowlishaw: Well, it's pretty simply. Lindy Ruff will be gone at the end of this season, assuming the Stars don't win a playoff series. Ruff was Nill's hire. Every GM gets one coaching change and then it's on him. So the clock starts ticking on Nill after Ruff leaves. Nill has been very good for the most part. But he hasn't addressed goaltending when he needed to, and the results aren't what they should be for this team.

Do you think the Stars should be buyers or sellers at the deadline?

Cowlishaw: Sellers. Unless things change drastically.
