Dallas Stars Prospect Update: HV71 Claims SHL Crown Without Hansson Playing

With Niklas Hansson’s HV71 claiming the SHL crown on Saturday the last Dallas Stars’ prospect saw his season end.

It was a disappointing postseason for Hansson, much like his regular season, as he only played in two games for HV71’s entire playoffs.

After playing impressively in the 2015-2016 season, Hansson’s game appears to have taken a step back. He finished with half the points he got in the previous season.

Hansson has signed an entry level contract and could be playing in the AHL for the Texas Stars next year.

Outside of the postseason there has been a couple of Dallas Stars prospects who have been named to their national World Championship squads.
