With two ATOs already in the fold, Texas added another yesterday as Dallas signed 2023 fourth round defenseman Aram Minnetian to a standard three-year ELC. Minnetian is expected to join the team this weekend in Bakersfield.

The Stars drafted Minnetian out of the US NTDP. After his 18 year old season, the New Jersey native went to Boston College for three years. He finished his collegiate career with 35 points in 111 games and a decent plus-46 rating, including plus-15 just this season.

Minnetian is a proven winner at the international level as well with gold medals in the trophy case from the 2025 IIHF U20 World Juniors and the 2023 U18 tourney as well. Prior to this season, BC ranked at the top of Hockey East in the regular season and captured the conference's championship in 2024 as well.

As with Jack Anderson and Dylan Hryckowian, Texas fans should expect to see Minnetian in the lineup as soon as he is available, which should be this weekend. Minnetian will wear #15 for Texas.

In a separate move, Texas assigned forward Kaleb Pearson to Idaho, where he promptly score the opening goal in his first game back.
