Timo Meier sounds just like the player we need.

I wonder if Nichushkin + 12th for 3rd could work. We probably lose that deal, though.
The chart seems to have switched Dallas and the Sharks draft picks....either he really knows something, or maybe he is a bit shoddy.....
That said, I have seen similar charts. Would agree it would be interesting to go back and find out if Stars are average, better or worse, given their draft position. A while ago, Hockey News had them as average, but when you have potential busts from 2008-2012, in Glennie, Campbell, Oleksiak and Faksa, it would drag your rating down a bit.
Hopefully Nuke, Honka and the new guy bring it back up.
A smart and competitive two-way center with high offensive upside. Exhibits smooth natural skating ability with a top speed that can be hard for the opposition to handle. Soft hands allow him to let his creativity flow free. Possesses a prolific skillset; he can snap the puck to the back of the net, make a seemingly tricky pass look easy, or hold onto the puck and establish a firm forecheck until the right opportunity shows itself. All-in-all, a player who has the ability to dominate offensively and defensively due to his size, speed, individual skills, and intelligence with and without the puck. (Curtis Joe, EP 2014)
12. Dallas Stars – Zach Werenski – A few teams consider selecting Werenski (Florida and Columbus, plus others) before the Stars step up and grab the consensus top-11 guy and 3rd best defender in the draft. Werenski has a bucket full of offensive skill but still projects as a two-way defender at the next level due to good size, skating ability and compete. He gives the Stars a high-end defensive prospect for their system while also filling a big organizational need.
If not Werenski? Timo Meier.
