It’s been a crazy week for the Dallas Stars. But the crazy has, surprisingly enough, been all good for the organization.
After a season full of crazy despair and disappointment, the Stars have spent the first month of the offseason in wise fashion and are raking in all sorts of positivity.
A few weeks back, Dallas was awarded the third overall pick (the highest in franchise history) in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft as a part of the annual draft lottery.
On Tuesday afternoon, the Stars pulled off one of the first big trades of the offseason, sending Montreal’s fourth-round draft pick (that they received in the Jordie Benn trade) to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for veteran goaltender Ben Bishop.
