Dallas Stars Draft Picks: Breaking Down New Players from the 2022 NHL Draft

Dallas then selected defenseman George Fegaras with its next pick, 83rd overall, in round 3. The 6-foot-2 and 194-pound blueliner has already committed to play for the Muskegon Lumberjacks in 2022/23 and for Cornell University in 2023/24.

The Richmond Hill, Ontario native has a high point-per-game average but is also solid in his own end. Fegaras has above-average speed and can play either special team role.

He sees the play well and anticipates where his teammates will be, then hits them with one of his crisp passes. He has high defensive awareness and the ability to jump into the play when needed.

Last season for the North York Rangers of the OJHL, he posted 13 goals and 35 assists for 48 points, along with 40 penalty minutes, in 52 games. He brings a solid, all-around game to Dallas where he is well suited to take over as the power play quarterback.

Next, the Stars selected 6-foot-0 and 185-pound defenseman Gavin White. The Brockville, Ontario native was chosen in the 4th round, 115th overall.

White is like a fourth forward on the ice, always lurking for an opening to score. He can play an aggressive game on both ends of the ice while displaying great vision.

White also has the potential to quarterback a power play, as he uses the shot pass quite often. He has a good shot, one he uses for deflections and rebounds. His shot selection is one for accurate shots, always hitting his spots.

On defense, he has great awareness and closes the gaps before the opposition sets up shop. White enjoys getting in scrums in front of the net, especially when he is protecting his netminder.

During the 2021/22 season with the Hamilton Bulldogs of the OHL, White scored 10 goals and added 46 assists for 56 points to go along with 21 penalty minutes.
