Who Is Mark McNeill, The Newest Dallas Stars Prospect?

A change of scenery can often make a world of difference.

That’s definitely what the Dallas Stars are hoping for with regards to forward Mark McNeill, the centerpiece of their return for Johnny Oduya, a trade with the Chicago Blackhawks that went through on Tuesday evening. The Stars also acquired a conditional 4th round draft choice in the move (which becomes a 3rd round selection if the Hawks make this year’s Western Conference Finals).

The 24 year-old McNeill is a big (6’2”, 214-pound), two-way forward that can play both center and right wing.
