I'm more excited for Stankoven than I have been for any other Stars' prospect except Heiskanen.
Once he adjusts to the NHL, he's going to be so much fun to watch. There's nothing not to like.

Hard not to feel for the kid, losing in the WHL semis and then being the first team out of the Memorial Cup in front of the home fans.
But he's got a pretty sweet rest of the year to look forward to, from offseason training to camp in the fall and then very likely cracking the Stars roster next season.

Man, one of the best players I've seen in juniors, Our birds have gotten really well aquainted with Logan and the Blazers, and I'm glad we don't have to face him in the semis. Well deserved final lap in his home barn.

Great name plus so many WJR memories as well.
I hope he has a wonderful NHL career.

Like for sure.
At least 6 awesome picks in recent drafts.
As in, first and after first round
Wyatt Johnston has been better than Stankhoven for a couple of years now.. Bourque is close too if he can stay healthy.

I didn't say he was better than them as prospects. Johnston is absolutely a better player. But Stankoven has an "it" factor about him that makes him more exciting to me.

That future PP is absolutely nuts.
Hintz - Johnston - Stankoven
Robertson - Heiskanen
Or some variation on this. Won’t matter. It’s top 5 without even thinking about it (for a long time). The skill is off the charts.

How would you guys describe his hitting game—is he an opportunistic hitter, or someone who consistently engages contact trying to get the puck back? I've seen the highlights of some of his big hits and just wondering what kind of volume he brings to the table.

A once in a lifetime draft 2017 where you get 3 top stars makes you forget about the other drafts they have. (2014 being terrible and 2016 is so so)

They’ve really done a 180.
Not that many years ago it felt like they were one of the worst drafting teams in the league

With Dadonov, Pavelski, Seguin, Benn, Marchment, Duchene, etc. in the fold it appears that unfortunately Stank has no path to a top nine spot this year.
Will he force a trade or will he just quickly develop in Cedar Park and spend the year in the A (almost like a forced initiation)? Having watched him as much as I could the last couple years he looked like the type of prospect who could walk on. The Duchene move was a surprise (although a bargain).
What’s the thinking now?

I think a year in the A is best for Logan anyhow. Dallas is playing this correctly for his development.

He will 100% spend this upcoming season in the AHL. Yes he was a very good player in junior but he needs to be eased in slowly into pro hockey. Take it year by year in the AHL to determine if/when he becomes NHL ready.
Zero reason to try to rush him

He could still make the team, Marchment isn't some beast that is locked in that spot he could easily get pushed to the 4th line especially with how he played last season/playoffs.
Not saying it's likely, but there is still an opportunity.

Nikishin turning heads.
Perhaps I am out to lunch but I feel that Stankoven would be the perfect taxi-squad player to bring up in the playoffs at the precise moment the team needs an infectious kick-start. Kind of like what the Theo Fleury provided to the Calgary Flames in 1989.

Lot of parallels between that ‘88 Flames team and the current Stars team. It’s even closer when you consider Fleury and Stankoven. Theo might be the perfect comparison for Stank. Sensational Jr career, undersized, high motor, fan favourite, leader, etc. That’s a really interesting comparable.
