Dallas Stars Sign Derrick Pouliot

July 4, 2023 at 12:32 pm CDT | by Josh Cybulski Leave a Comment

The Dallas Stars announced today that they have signed former Stanley Cup champion defenseman Derrick Pouliot to a one-year, two-way contract. The deal runs through the 2023-24 season and carries a cap hit of $775K at the NHL level while paying him a salary of $325K for his time in the AHL. It is the fifth straight two-way contract that Pouliot has signed since 2018-19 and marks a new beginning for the once highly touted prospect.

Pouliot was drafted eighth overall by the Pittsburgh Penguins back in 2012 and at one point was the top prospect in their system. He dressed in 67 games for the Penguins over parts of three seasons culminating in a Stanley Cup in 2016-17 for the 29-year-old. Pouliot spent last season in the San Jose Sharks organization and dressed in eight games for the big club posting two assists. He spent the bulk of the year with the San Jose Barricuda in the AHL where he had four goals and 21 assists in 37 games.

At 6’0”, Pouliot is a bit undersized, however he is regarded as an excellent passer and a bit of a playmaker. He has been a solid offensive contributor throughout his time in the AHL but has never been able to find his footing in the NHL. Dallas will be his seventh organization in the last nine years and although he has played 221 career NHL games in that time, he has posted just eight goals and 46 assists.

Dallas has a lot of defensemen in front of Pouliot on the depth charts, however depending on how their summer shakes out Pouliot could be one of their first call-ups next season.
