Hispanic Heritage Month provides an opportunity to reflect on the impact Latinos have made in our culture every year. Whether we recognize it or not, we experience this impact year-round through our food, sports, business, politics, science, education and the arts. Yet, one of the most important and lasting impacts that often goes unrecognized and most certainly under celebrated is the role the Latinas play in accelerating economic growth.

The Dallas Stars have a talented prospect pool, but the clincher is that it’s a talented pool for a contender rather than a rebuilding team, which makes things more interesting. There’s an asterisk to that, however, which is this: rankings go out the window once the puck drops. The cool thing about this year is that the bulk of Dallas’ prospects are in the AHL. In fact, per my rankings, 13 of Dallas’ top 20 prospects are in the American Hockey League. This isn’t even a matter of subjective opinion.

For some fans, this question is a waste of time. “Of course Matt Duchene is the best option for Tyler Seguin!” After all, the Roope Hintz line is perfect. The Wyatt Johnston line is perfect. The fourth line is perfect for what it is. That leaves two top-six players in Seguin and Mason Marchment to find a top-six soulmate. Enter Duchene, a top-six player. Pete DeBoer sounds like a guy who already has his mind made up.

It’s hard to believe but even after graduating some very good players, the Dallas Stars still have a loaded talent pool with varying degrees of readiness. It’s been the defining feature of Jim Nill’s second half. What started out as a very (very) questionable run of Valeri Nichushkin, Jason Dickinson, Julius Honka, Denis Gurianov, and Riley Tufte turned into Miro Heiskanen, Jake Oettinger, Wyatt Johnston, Thomas Harley, and Logan Stankoven.
