The NHL Draft is one of Jim Lites' favorite events of the year.
"It's such a great time when everyone from the league gets together, you're all optimistic about next season, there's a lot of talk in the air about who you're getting in the draft or maybe possible trades. There's just a lot of energy in the city," said Lites, the Stars CEO.
"I'm really excited to see it here in Dallas."
