When 20 different NHL teams are all chasing the same player, that’s a pretty good sign that the player is — or might one day be — special.
Which is precisely why the Dallas Stars must be quite happy right now with their most recent transaction. On Saturday it was reported that the team had signed undrafted free agent Tye Felhaber of the OHL’s Ottawa 67’s, beating out 20 or so other teams who were apparently interested in Felhaber’s services.
The first thing you notice about Felhaber are the eye-popping stats that he’s putting up this season: 53 goals and 91 points, both of which currently lead the entire OHL, in just 51 games played.
