Before the NHL draft resumed on Saturday at the American Airlines Center, representatives with two teams complimented Stars amateur scouting director Joe McDonnell.
Each person told McDonnell that his club tried its hardest on Friday night to move up and pick off center Ty Dellandrea. They failed, and Dellandrea went to the Stars with the 13th choice overall.
The mock-drafters disliked the choice. McDonnell's peers liked it, which meant more to him and the Stars.
"You look at some of the funny lists out there, but for the most part the teams have the same lists," McDonnell said.
