The Dallas Stars are hosting their first ever NHL Draft this summer on June 22-23, 2018. And while that’s an exciting step forward for the city and franchise, it comes at a price.
That price is the pressure put on the team itself. When they play visitor in a draft, things are typically easier for a non-traditional team that doesn’t necessarily have a wave of fans all across North America. But when the draft is in their backyard and fans are filling up the American Airlines Center to watch what their favorite team does, there is no time to fumble.
