With only nine picks in their past two entry drafts, the Dallas Stars had to get a little creative to fill up their prospect pool, especially after the recent graduations of Jake Oettinger, Jason Robertson, Ty Dellandrea and others to the big club.
They did exactly that last week, and did so in an interesting way, signing a pair of NCAA free agent teammates from the University of North Dakota: goaltender Adam Scheel and winger Jordan Kawaguchi. Both players signed shortly after their college seasons ended, which happened in a heartbreaking five-overtime elimination loss to Minnesota Duluth.
