Like everyone else here in Dallas, legendary Stars center Mike Modano heard the jeers for NHL commissioner Gary Bettman. They started early and continued throughout the first round of the NHL Draft on Saturday night, usually at Bettman's encouragement. They stopped when Modano and Stars captain Jamie Benn surprised Dallas fans with an appearance on stage when the team made their pick. "He couldn't wait for us to get out there. He was struggling. I told him I'd go out there and tell everybody to back off on Gary a little bit. ‘Well, they might start booing you,' he said. That be shortlived," said Modano with a laugh. "Poor Gary. He get it everywhere. They booed him when he came out when Jersey [won the Cup] in Reunion Arena, so he's no stranger to that."

Jim Montgomery is Jamie Benn's fifth head coach in the NHL with the Dallas Stars. "So this isn't new for me," he said after appearing on stage with the team at the NHL Draft. "You never want to do that in nine years. But it's a business. Hopefully [Montgomery] is the last coach I have here."

As far as ESPN's draft analytics model is concerned, there was plenty of value to be found in the second round last night. In addition to these, the Mavericks picked up two talented players very late in Ray Spalding (Analytics Rank: 24) and Kostas Antetokounmpo (30).
