To start July, the Stars made a major move for their future at goalie when they signed prospect Colton Point to a three-year, entry-level contract. He was a fifth-round selection in 2016 but seriously jumped into the conversation about the Dallas Stars’ future after a strong season at Colgate last year.



The other part of that conversation is Jake Oettinger, a first-round selection in 2017.



Oettinger is returning to Boston University for his junior season this year and regardless of the advancements made with Point, Oettinger is very much in the fold for the Stars.



Oettinger set a high bar for himself in 2016-17, his freshman season, when he was named to the Hockey East All-Rookie team and was the Hockey East Goaltender of the Month in October. He posted a save percentage of .927 and had a 2.11 goals-against average in 35 games in goal. Those number dropped a bit last year when his SV% was .915 and he had a 2.45 GAA in 38 starts.
