The Dallas Stars announced today the re-signing of veteran forward, Blake Comeau, to a one year, $1 million contract. The move helps the Stars make their exposure requirements for the upcoming expansion draft this summer when the Seattle Kraken join the league as the 32nd team.
As a refresher, the rules for the expansion draft say that, at minimum, teams must expose:
- One blueliner that is under contract for the 2021-2022 season and played in at least 40 NHL games in the 2020-2021 season OR has played in at least 70 NHL games between 2019-2020 and 2020-2021.
