9. Alex Goligoski Dallas Stars: Alex Goligoski played on the surprising Dallas Stars last year. He is an offensive defenseman who had log a lot of minutes and jump into the play when needed. Goligoski does have his flaws like every defenseman. He is viewed as undersized and can struggle against bigger forwards. Last season he had 6 goals and 36 assists for 42 points. He was a plus nine on the season. The 42 points in 81 games was a career high for him. He also averaged 0.52 points per game.
