The 2018 draft will mark the first time in Stars franchise history that the club will host the event, and coincides with Dallas' 25th anniversary in the league.
"Players born in 2000 will be the focus of the first draft of our second century,” NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said. "Tomorrow's NHL stars will skate into the spotlight when the 2018 NHL Draft brings the NHL family together at American Airlines Center, providing another highlight for the Dallas Stars' 25th anniversary celebration."
This year's draft was hosted by the Chicago Blackhawks, where forward Nico Hischier was drafted first overall by the New Jersey Devils.
