Defenseman Ludwig Bystrom has signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Dallas Stars to rejoin the team for 2017-18. It is likely he will spend the season with the Texas Stars.
Bystrom played in 55 games this season with a plus-9 rating. The rating, however, may have been assisted by some sheltered minutes. Bystrom was preferred for offensive zone starts over defensive. Of course, that's just on the eye test. The AHL does not release zone start data.
In addition to prepping for the coming season, Bystrom and his girlfriend are also spending the summer preparing for a new addition to their family.
