The Stars got into the playoffs on the last week of the season, largely on the backs of their two stars, Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn.

They hit a home run last season at #10 with Valeri Nichushkin, who made the team as an 18 year old and looks to be a burgeoning power forward.  If they can find a similar talent this year it will go a long way to solidifying an annual trip to the post-season.

Kevin Fiala is a Swiss forward who played in Sweden, including notching 11 points in 17 games in the top league last year.  He is a dynamic skater with offensive talent who projects to be a top 6 forward and could make the jump to North America next season, even if it is to play in the AHL.
