#3: Dallas Stars -Jason Robertson

Original Pick- Miro Heiskanen

It is absolutely insane with how well the Stars did in this years draft. Not only did they select Jason Robertson later on but managed to get both Miro Heiskanen and Jake Oettinger as well.

Robertson has blossomed into a fantastic player for Dallas, scoring 40 plus goals in each of the last two seasons and cracking 109 points this past season. Robertson is the future of this team and has already proven to be a steal in this years draft.

#4: Colorado Avalanche – Miro Heiskanen

Original Pick- Cale Makar

Next, I have the Avs taking Miro Heiskanen. Heiskanen has proven to be a steady defensemen in this league for the Stars and would still help the Avs. Do they go on to win a cup, maybe not, but the 23-year-old is a great two-way defender and is a great consolation prize for the Avalanche.
