For draft-night entertainment, the Stars brought out an icon of the past in Mike Modano and a stalwart of current and future teams in Jamie Benn on Friday night at the American Airlines Center.
After a bit of repartee with Modano that was Las Vegas-worthy, Benn announced the Stars’ choice with the 13th overall pick in the NHL draft:
Center Ty Dellandrea, of Flint in the Ontario Hockey League.
To say Dellandrea was stunned would be an understatement. Dellandrea had no idea the Stars would take him until the moment he heard Benn call out his name.
