The Dallas Stars have a relatively short draft history when compared to the history of the NHL. That history becomes even shorter when talking about drafting at the 13th position.
In the franchise’s 25 years in Dallas, the Stars have drafted only one 13th overall pick, being Radek Faksa. That being said, it’s definitely a stretch to claim that a trend has been set and 13 is the team’s lucky number. But to say that the Stars did okay with their last 13th pick could very well be an understatement.
Faksa has earned his spot on the Stars’ roster and done so in relatively short time since he was picked in 2012.
