When Anton Khudobin was 17, Alexander Radulov gifted him with the nickname “Dobby”. A decade and a half later, the two are now teammates on the Dallas Stars hockey club.
Khudobin signed in Dallas because of the level of interest the organization expressed in the 32 year old. He said he told his agent that he wanted to sign with a playoff team, and his agent listened - Khudobin believes the Stars are there.
He’s ready to be a backup, exuding a sense of confidence in the role he’s going to play behind Ben Bishop this season.
