Stars' Josh Melnick: Gets entry-level deal with Dallas

Melnick signed an entry-level contract with the Stars on Tuesday.

The Stars signed three college prospects to entry-level deals Tuesday, with Melnick having been a standout at Miami University (Ohio). He's only 5-foot-10 and 160 pounds, but the winger held his own based on a 0.78 point-per-game average between the collegiate and USHL ranks. We'll have to see how well Melnick can parlay his talents to success in professional hockey.
