Colin Blackwell Player Profile: Who did the Dallas Stars get for a Radek Faksa Replacement?

On today's episode of Locked On Stars, we do a full breakdown and profile on the newest Dallas Stars Colin Blackwell. Blackwell signed with the Stars as a free agent on a one year deal for $775,000. He is expected to be what Radek Faksa was for the Stars for a large part of his career, but at a much cheaper price tag. Joey shares Blackwell's background as a hockey player and his journey to this point his career. Highlighting his four years at Harvard, three seasons in the AHL to eventually making a name for himself in New York playing alongside Artemi Panarin and putting up a career high 22 points. Joey compares Blackwell and Faksa in their overall style of game, advanced numbers, and certain characteristics/skillsets. Blackwell has exceeded expectations in the past and don't be surprised if he has a big year in Dallas. Joey finishes off the episode discussing the expectations for Blackwell and where he see's the fit for him next season along with players like Evgenii Dadanov and Sam Steel. Blackwell does have potential to be a swiss army knife for Pete DeBoer, but with a crowded room of forwards that may not be the case here.
