As far as the Texas Stars are concerned, the Dallas Stars training camp is a chance to impress and maybe change some minds. Jim Nill and the Dallas brass clearly have some idea of what their team will look like on opening night. However, training camp is a chance for players potential originally destined for the Texas Stars or even Idaho Steelheads to make Nill, Scott White and their crew think twice.
Jamie Benn is your prototypical example. If you happen to still possess a Texas Stars inaugural season, opening night program, you'll notice Jamie Benn listed among the players for the AHL squad.
