gold star for USAHOF

34. Roope Hintz

34. Roope Hintz

The Dallas Stars selected Finnish Left Wing, Roope Hintz in the Second Round of the 2015 Draft, and two years later, he left Scandinavia for the Stars.  After a year in the AHL, he made the Dallas roster and was a full-time NHL player by 2019/20.

Hintz gradually improved his game, and in 2020/21, he was a Point-per-Game Wing (43 Points in 41 Games), showing that he could be a budding All-Star in the future.  In the two seasons after, Hintz had 72 and 75 Points respectively, both of which saw him light the lamp 37 times. Over the last two seasons, Hintz has scored 65 and 67 Points, and as he approaches 30, he is in his prime.  Therefore, we know what type of player Hintz is, and the evidence shows that he is a valuable commodity on a contending squad.
