It’s hard to look at the Dallas Stars’ playoffs hot streak and not credit the draft success behind it. From Jamie Benn to Logan Stankoven and from Esa Lindell to Miro Heiskanen, the wealth of homegrown talent wearing Victory Green is enough to water the eyes of the sternest Stars stan.
In other words, it’s never too early to ask if GM Jim Nill’s streak of draft wins will continue. Starting with the Golden Class of 2017 – Miro Heiskanen, Jake Oettinger and Jason Robertson – fans and analysts have begun to expect more and better as a matter of course.
