Dallas Stars: Stanley Cup Contenders?

The Dallas stars, led by Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin, have made a name for themselves in the first portion of the year. Their overall team play has been on point and it doesn't look like it's stopping there. The team has been dominating teams that no one would've thought they'd beat after last year's season.
The Dallas Stars have started out at 10-3-0, leading the Central division. The Central has been known to house the best teams in the league. At least 6 out of 7 teams so far have a positive record this season. They are definitely the best division in the league no doubt. The only team who has a negative record is the Colorado Avalanche, (4-7-1). The 5th place team (Nashville Predators), are 7-2-2, if that doesn't prove how good this division is, i don't know.
Anyway, the Stars are led be Jamie Benn (26), and Tyler Seguin (23). Benn is leading the league in points, also tied with Seguin (Benn: 10g, 10a, 20p, 13gp; Seguin 8g 12a 20p, 13gp). Jonas Klingberg has been a subject of discussion after he signed the 7 year deal in the summer, but he proved it was worth it. He has 2 goals and 11 assists in 13 games played. Jonas Klingberg is only 23, so he still has time to turn into Jonas Lidstrom. The Stars have 3 PPG players, the most of any team in the league.
Their powerplay is best in the league with 29.5% as of 11/5/2015. Makes sense when the top 2 guys tally up 18 goals and 40 points.
