As the NHL season opener approaches for Dallas this Thursday, the roster in Texas further solidified this weekend with final cuts from the big club.
All told, analysis-wise, this is exactly the roster that we expected to see for the Texas Stars. Despite strong camps from Mavrik Bourque, Logan Stankoven and Lian Bichsel, all three come to Cedar Park to start the year. That trio, along with any of these names below, would make sense as the first callups for the Stars depending on the role needs if injuries strike.
Dallas assigned eight players in the final round of cuts:
- Oskar Bäck
- Lian Bichsel
- Matu011bj Blümel
- Mavrik Bourque
- Riley Damiani
- Kyle McDonald
- Remi Poirier
- Logan Stankoven
Jerad Rosburg and Chase Wheatcroft remain in Dallas on injured reserve.
