The 2013 NHL entry draft was a pretty full one for the Dallas Stars. Following five years of making trades and receiving draft picks in return all while missing out on the playoffs year after year, the Stars were exceedingly active in the drafting process.
Dallas boasted a total of nine picks in the 2013 draft and used every single one of them. This was set to be quite an interesting draft for Dallas as well. With nine total picks, including the tenth pick overall, there was a pressing need to draft some quality prospects, some that could be ready for the NHL as early as 2014.
