Aside from the 2013-14 season, the Texas Stars have been hard-pressed to collect any year-end AHL hardware. Matt Fraser came close to the goal scoring title in 2012 and of course Willie Desjardins won the Pieri (Coach of the Year) in 2013, but otherwise, it's been a bare cupboard. This year, it's different.
With two dynamic rookies in Riley Damiani and Thomas Harley and a reinvigorated Adam Mascherin, the Stars should expect several post-season honors coming their way. Let's run down the case for each player and see what they might earn.
Note that All-Star teams will be honored by division, instead of per the entire league.
