The phrase has become so common it deserves its own zip code. "The 2017 NHL Draft is weak," they say. Granted, the "they" are well respected minds in the prospect world. But for the Dallas Stars, this draft will help define the franchise for years to come. They have two first round picks. One of which is 3rd overall.
With the team primed to compete now, there's a good chance this is their only shot at getting a premiere roster player for the price of mere diligence. In other words- they best not miss.
