Dallas Stars Announce Unfortunate Passing Within the Organization

The Dallas Stars have just shared some terrible news today that a veteran scout from their organization named Doug Overton has passed away.

Dallas' General Manager Jim Nill has released this statement as well:

Doug Overton spent over 18 years with the Dallas Stars organization and played a major role in helping them draft some of their best players, past and present. Their current captain Jamie Benn was a fifth-round pick during the 2007 draft. Trevor Daley (43rd in 2002), Jussi Jokinen (192nd in 2001), Roope Hintz (49th in 2015), Jason Robertson (39th in 2017), and Jake Oettinger (26th in 2017) picks would all have likely been influenced by Doug Overton.

We at MarkerZone would like to send our condolences to Doug's family, colleagues, and friends during this difficult period of time.
