The Dallas Stars signed 15-year veteran Radek Dvorak to a 1 year, $1.5 million deal during their signing spree yesterday.  Dvorak is a two-way forward and is known as a solid penalty-killer. 

He's played 1,118 games in his NHL career and has amassed 556 points (215 goals, 341 assists). During his career, as long as he gets some solid playing time, he will get you 10-15 goals. Like most of the draft picks and signees this year, Dvorak is a tough player. 

He'll serve as a placeholder before some of the Stars younger forwards make their way through the minors.

I expect him to be a late-line depth forward and an integral part of the penalty kill.
