In the last few seasons, when considering who the Stars could plunder from various organizations in need (like the Oilers), Tyler Pitlick never came up on the short list. The Oilers, now potentially pawning off one of their first round pick centers, have pawned off some pretty big name wingers in recent years. While Pitlick is obviously not on the same level as Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle, they did let him walk in free agency, which turned out to be super lucky for the Stars.
Pitlick has a lot going for him.
