Dallas Stars Mock Draft
National Hockey League Mock Draft • 2026 Season
Dallas Stars Draft Analysis
Heading into the draft, the Dallas Stars are in a position where they can afford to target high-impact forwards to complement their existing roster. While the team boasts a solid core with the likes of Jason Robertson and Roope Hintz, there is a notable need for depth at center and offensive creativity, particularly as they look to enhance their playoff contention. Additionally, the Stars could benefit from bolstering their blue line with a franchise-caliber defenseman, especially given the physical demands of playoff hockey.
Gavin McKenna, the consensus top pick, would be an ideal fit for the Stars, offering elite offensive talent and the ability to be an immediate difference-maker at center. His skill set would provide Dallas with the playmaking and scoring touch that could elevate their second line. Alternatively, Keaton Verhoeff stands out as a perfect addition to the blue line; his two-way capability and projected franchise upside could solidify Dallas' defensive structure for years to come. Adding either prospect would address key needs while adding tremendous long-term value.
