NHL draft profile: If there is a run on centers, this quality defenseman could be best available for Stars at 13

Oh, a defenseman. You may have thought there were literally none in this draft due to our complete lack of profiles of defenders. Alas, there are many. The Dallas Stars really need to find dynamic talent up front so our focus has been on the forwards. Many quality blueliners will likely be available at the 13th pick, including Ty Smith of Spokane in the WHL.

With Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic NHL reporting that teams might be focusing on centers at the draft, it's entirely possible that the Stars are staring square in the face of a quality blueliner being the best available player.
