29. Dallas Stars – Conor Timmins (D, Sault St. Marie Greyhounds, OHL)

Timmins is solid both offensively and defensively and could make for a great pick for the Stars. After taking an offensive juggernaut in Vilardi at third overall, this could pay off.

They already have solid defensive prospects in Esa Lindell and Julius Honka among others, so Timmins would join an already talented core.
