Coming off a heartbreaking loss in Game 7 of the playoffs to the eventual Stanley Cup champion St. Louis Blues, The Stars made some offseason moves that they believe could take them to the next level.

At the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, Tyler Seguin told NBC Sports he believes moves like signing Joe Pavelski -- also a participant in the tournament along with former Stars great Mike Modano -- show that the front office believes the Stars are close to winning a championship.

In addition to Pavelski, the Stars also signed Corey Perry and Andrej Sekera to one-year deals, giving the Stars an added veteran presence.

"The thing is, especially with GMs, with teams you're either going all-in and going for it or you're kind of re-stocking. When you see a GM make moves like going to get a guy like Joe Pavelski he's telling the whole team 'Our window's open, we're going to win the Stanley Cup.' That's our objective," Seguin told NBC Sports in a Q&A. "That's our goal. That's the expectation. As a player on the team you get even more excited when you see these moves happening in the summer. You're always working hard in the gym, but you're even more dialed in now because you know they're all-in so you want to be all-in and make sure you don't let your teammates down."

In addition to this offseason's moves, Seguin has finally found a sense of stability with the Stars. Last offseason, Seguin signed an eight-year, $78.8 million contract with an AAV of $9.85 million. But the biggest stabilizing factor, might have been the hiring of head coach Jim Montgomery. Montgomery's hiring made him the Stars' third head coach in three seasons. But unlike his predecessor in Ken Hitchcock, the Stars hired Montgomery with a long-term vision in mind.

Seguin praised Montgomery's ability to relate to players, while still being able to keep the locker room under control.

"The way he's approachable, his personality, the way he knows when to be buddy-buddy and knows when to be a bit more of a drill sergeant. He had some growing times during this year with all of us like we did, but I'm comfortable with not having any more coaches in Dallas, I've had three already. I'm hoping Jim's going to stick around for at least the rest of my deal, which is eight more years. I'm looking forward to making some noise," Seguin told NBC.

Seguin finished 61st in the American Century Championship. His Stars counterparts -- Modano and Pavelski -- finished T-9, and 11 respectively. Former Cowboys QB Tony Romo won the tournament for the second straight year.

The Stars open the season on Oct. 3, against the defending Eastern Conference champion Boston Bruins.
