Every season, Texas has at least a few amateur players added on tryout contracts. Many of these are drafted players getting a taste of the AHL before heading home for the summer. In 2015, I wrote a story about Texas’s ATO tradition for TheAHL.com. Not every one of these players will sign an ATO this season; this is just the list of possibilities.
Keep in mind that the Stars also usually add at least one player from college (generally a Michigan college) who was undrafted, such as Joel L’Esperance and Robbie Payne last season.
