5. Tyler Seguin

As of this writing, Tyler Seguin has completed 11 seasons for the Dallas Stars, which is befitting of a former second overall draft pick.  Dallas didn’t initially draft Seguin, as he was acquired through a trade from Boston; however, from what he has accomplished thus far in the Lone Star State, the Bruins would likely love to have had a do-over on that.

In Dallas, Seguin’s offensive star (pardon the pun) rose.  In his first season in Dallas, Seguin finished 4th in Points (84) and 5th in Goals with 37, a number he would repeat the following year (and would finish 5th again). Seguin would have a six-year streak where he had at least 70 Points in a season, two of which saw him reach 80.  

Sadly for Seguin, despite the five appearances to the All-Star Game as a Dallas Star, he has yet to lift the Stanley Cup like he did in Boston, but this is a loaded squad that can go all the way.

Seguin is still one hell of a player, and the Stars highly value his veteran presence.  Seguin currently has 688 Points for the Stars in 786 Games.
