Defenseman Dillon Heatherington is in the plans for next year as the Dallas Stars inked the 23-year old to a one-year, two-way deal this afternoon.
Heatherington spent most of the season with Texas and was a mainstay on the blue line in the playoffs. Paired with Brent Regner, "Heater" was used some of the toughest situations of the postseason run. He now has two Finals runs on his resume with his win in Lake Erie in 2016 and this past season's run with Texas.
Here's the release:
Dallas Stars General Manager Jim Nill announced today that the club has signed defenseman Dillon Heatherington to a one-year, two-way contract.
