Stars' Jordie Benn: Receives tryout from Dallas
Benn signed a professional tryout with the Stars on Tuesday, per CapFriendly.
Benn spent last season in the Toronto organization, compiling two points in 12 games at the NHL level and six points in 23 outings with the AHL club. The 36-year-old defenseman made his NHL debut with the Stars in 2011-12. Should Benn get a full contract with Dallas, it'd likely be a two-way deal, and his path to the NHL roster is crowded by a number of younger blueliners.

Maple Leafs' Jordie Benn: Not many games this season
Benn has dressed for four of the Leafs' last 16 games.
He has a minus-3 rating with eight hits and six blocks in those four games, and he's played just 12 games (one goal, one assist) over the season. Benn is a depth defender who can be exposed on the ice if he tries too hard -- he's much better when he plays a simple, straight-ahead game. And that's not really the Leafs' style, although he might be a more prototypical playoff guy. Benn is an undrafted 35-year-old who has carved out 607 NHL games with six teams over 12 seasons.
