The Stars signed defenseman Gavin Bayreuther late last season as an undrafted FA after his 4 years at St. Lawrence University. Bayreuther uses the sting of not being drafted to motivate him to success on the ice.
"I was very upset, to be honest, but it was the best thing that ever happened to me," Bayreuther said. "It made me work so much harder, take nothing for granted. Prove everyone wrong."
He had a few offers from other NHL teams but the heat of Texas was one of the deciding factors for the native of New Hampshire.
