The Dallas Stars could have done worse than losing center Cody Eakin in the NHL Expansion Draft. The Ginger Ninja is an often polarizing player, and it’s not as if they don’t have the forward firepower to deal with the loss.
But the Stars also could have done better, writes Mike Heika of The Dallas Morning News:
He'll be a great player for Vegas. He's 26, he's very strong defensively, and he was selected in the 2009 entry draft by current Vegas GM George McPhee when he was running the Washington Capitals.
