Take a walk down memory lane and relive the 2011 NHL Draft. Plus, Brendan Ranford is happy to stay with the Texas Stars, and a look at the impact a new team has on a player.
As speculation over who the Stars will select in 2016 NHL Draft ramps up, Sean Shapiro takes a look back at what happened in drafts of years past. In 2011, Dallas made six picks, three of whom—Jamie Oleksiak, Brett Ritchie, and Jyrki Jokipakka—have played in the NHL.
Shapiro writes off fourth-round pick Emil Molin and fifth-rounder Troy Vance as busts, but is more optimistic about Matej Stransky.
