The Dallas Stars come home from a busy NHL Entry Draft with a group of shiny new prospects, including the consensus-best defender and goaltender available. Now it’s time to deal with next season.
GM Jim Nill received the draft equivalent of free money when the lottery gave the Stars third pick overall, and he has no regrets about using it rather than trading it for immediate need, writes Mike Heika of The Dallas Morning News:
Dallas still would love to get a left-handed defenseman to play beside either John Klingberg or Julius Honka.
