Dallas Stars Prospects That Stood Out In Development Camp
By Josh Clark
The Dallas Stars finished up their 2017 development camp on Tuesday afternoon in Frisco. Here are a few of the prospects that stood out over the five-day span.
“The best way to predict your future is to create it.”
That’s a quote by former United States President Abraham Lincoln, and it couldn’t be more truthful. Instead of sitting around and waiting to see what your future holds, you have the power to craft it yourself. All it takes is hard work and perseverance.
NHL teams (the smart ones, at least) work off of this philosophy as well. They are constantly trying to better their future by adding talented prospects that give them a strong hope for the future.
The easiest way they do this is through the annual NHL Entry Draft, though there are also undrafted free agents and professional tryout contracts that are signed on a regular basis.

Still, the bulk of each team’s prospect talent comes via the draft. That’s where the Dallas Stars have found the majority of their young talent that is currently on the roster. Jamie Benn, Radek Faksa, Brett Ritchie, Devin Shore, John Klingberg, Esa Lindell, and Julius Honka are just a few of the blossoming talents on the Dallas Stars’ roster that are from a Stars’ draft class.
And the new wave just arrived a few weeks ago. During the last weekend in June, the NHL held the 2017 NHL Entry Draft in Chicago, and the Stars used all seven picks that they had to work with in hopes of finding the next top talent across the league.
These picks were a few of the many prospects that attended the Stars’ development camp, which ended on Tuesday afternoon. Over the four days of on-ice sessions, here are a few of the prospects that really stood out and went the extra mile in camp.
