Texas defenseman Lian Bichsel may still be a bit unsettled off the ice, still living out of a hotel seven weeks into his North American career, but he's already feeling settled on the ice in Cedar Park ahead of his AHL debut this Friday.
The Swiss defender, drafted 18th overall in 2022 by Dallas, has high expectations from the organization. Despite being only 19, he was one of the final cuts from the NHL club on Sunday and has many putting him in the mix for a job in Dallas earlier than expected with his preseason performance.
"The preseason with the Dallas Stars was great," Bichsel told 100 Degree Hockey on Wednesday afternoon.
