The Stars have big plans for their Danish defenseman. Last season he scored four goals and 21 points over 54 games with the Texas Stars and two assists over six games with the Stars. If he makes the team, expect him to see plenty of offensive minutes and PP time.
Pardy comes out of the Calgary Flames organization where he toiled on the bottom pairings. In his first season in Dallas he was expected to suit up next to Alex Goligoski. His one goal and seven points over only 30 games indicate he could have some value in deeper leagues.
Grossman battled injuries most of last season, playing only 59 games. In those contests he managed to post a goal and 10 assists. Probably not too relevant in your fantasy hockey league.
Very smart move by the Coyotes to lock down their biggest attraction. Biz Nasty, unfortunately, won't take you far in your fantasy hockey leagues.
Absolutely no reason to roster him at this point.
Harding missed all of last season due to injury and has yet to shed the injury-prone label as a professional. His .915 career save percentage indicates he may be worth a look if he ever earns a starting goalie gig.
Last season, Roloson posted a 1-2-0 record against the Canes with a gaudy 4.01 GAA and .884 SV% -- all three of those starts came as member of the Lightning.
No immediate fantasy hockey value in the AHL.

Parse was removed from the third line after his mediocre play. Relegated to only five games last season, the 27-year-old likely needs more time to get his timing down. He should be one of the front-runners to take Dustin Penner's job should he miss a significant amount of playing time.
Olver is one of many forwards vying for position with the Avs. Last season he got into 18 games, scoring two goals and nine points. With a few injuries, he could get himself back into the lineup but this injury severely hurt his chances of sticking.
Cumiskey may not have a roster spot when he returns. Last season he scored a goal and eight points through 18 games with the Avs. Expect him to catch on with another team if the Avs choose to waive him.
Yip's injury helps clear up the team's depth chart. Last season he scored 12 goals and 22 points but disappointed in a scoring role. Expect him to compete for his roster spot when he returns.
No immediate fantasy hockey value in the AHL.
With only a few days left before the regular season opener, Bolland has yet to return to the ice. Last season he scored 15 goals and 37 points while centering the second and third line but missed 21 games due to various injuries. If he can't play the Blackhawks will have a hard time replacing his two-way play.
Last season he only posted 10 assists through 78 points. While he aids his team defensively, don't expect any offensive production from the former 9th overall pick.
Chorney practicing is an encouraging sign. Last season he scored a goal and four points through 13 games with the team. Additionally, he was ranked the fastest skater on a team that featured Taylor Hall and Andrew Cogliano. If healthy he could possibly make an impact at the NHL level.
Betts should provide the team with a solid fourth line center after the team decided not to re-sign Jeff Halpern. Last season he scored five goals and 12 points through 75 games with the Flyers. Don't expect much more from the PK specialist.
No fantasy hockey value while on waivers.
