Their hips don't lie.
Dallas Stars players Jamie Benn, Ales Hemsky and Trevor Daley have all had off-season hip surgery.
General manager Jim Nill told reporters Monday about several of his stars going under the knife.
Daley had labrum hip surgery last Thursday which will require a three-to-four month recovery time.
Meanwhile, Benn and Hemsky each had their surgeries on Monday. Hemsky is expected to be out four-to-five months and Benn's recovery will be slightly longer.
The Art Ross Trophy winner will rest for a week before having a second surgery on his other hip. Following his second surgery, Benn will also take four-to-five months to recover.
If all goes well, all three should be good to go come the start of the 2015-16 season.
