Yeah, and I can't think of even one instance where a team was willing to burn that year of contract. They can healthy scratch him and stretch those 9 games out though. I also think there's a REALLY good chance Ty's wearing Red, White and Black for a couple weeks around New Years. There have been times with Ty where I was really concerned he'd make the Stars at 19 and other times thought he could use and would be returned to the OHL for another year. With one goal and one assist in 8 games in Texas, I'm not overly concerned he'll make the Dallas roster next year but I am aware that there's more to Ty's game than offensive numbers and he could have a really good camp. I could probably take a look at Dallas and Texas' roster depth and contract situations and get a better idea. Maybe just as simple as dipping into the Dallas threads here.
