Elie was a second-round pick for the Dallas Stars in 2013. He was signed to a one-year contract extension this summer.
He played 72 games last season with the Stars, spending almost the entire year up in the NHL. Elie also played 18 NHL games the season before.
Last season, Elie had 6 goals and 14 points. He was averaging just over 10 minutes of ice time a game and playing mostly in the bottom six, though he moved up higher for a few of Ken Hitchcock’s more adventurous line combinations during the season.
He played in just 4 regular-season AHL games last year, but he joined the Texas Stars on their playoff run that led them all the way to the Calder Cup Finals before losing to the Marlies in seven games.
