The Stars then selected goaltender Maxim Mayorov in round 5, pick #147. The 6-foot-6 and 199-pound goaltender has already committed to play the 2022/23 season with Loko Yaroslavl of the MHL.
Mayorov, a native of Togliatti, Russia is a massive goaltender who takes up a lot of the net. He is good at rebound recovery, is incredibly flexible and agile for a player of his size, and has good lateral movement from side to side.
During the 2021/22 season, he had a record of 14-10-2, a GAA of 2.16, and a .931 save percentage with 3 shutouts in 32 games with Lada Togliatti of the MHL.
With his size alone he can be a force between the pipes. However, he does have the speed and skill to go along with that size, and that allows him to control the game from the crease. Mayorov is a bigger and faster version of former Stars goaltender Ben Bishop.
Lastly, the Stars selected their only forward in the draft, right-winger Matthew Seminoff with the 179th pick (6th round). The 5-foot-11 and 183-pound native of Leesburg, Virginia could be a sneaky good pick for Dallas.
He is a versatile player that does a bit of everything on the ice. He plays well without the puck, always moving into scoring areas, has an accurate shot, and is good in every aspect of the offensive zone.
Last season, while playing for the Kamloops Blazers of the WHL, he scored 26 goals and added 31 assists for 57 points in 64 games. While Seminoff did not average a point per game, he did have plenty of games where he was constantly setting up teammates for scoring chances.
Seminoff can play anywhere in the lineup and be effective. He looks to be a middle-six forward in Dallas but do not be surprised if he gets time on the top line.
