Dallas doubled down on Texas’ forward depth by extending Harrison Scott and Matthew Seminoff, two players who did the heavy lifting in very different ways for the Stars’ AHL club. The moves, completed June 25, kept two dependable contributors in place for 2026-27 and beyond, with Scott signed through 2027-28 on a two-year, two-way deal and Seminoff also secured after a 50-point season in Texas.

Scott’s case is built on efficient, repeatable production. In his first full professional season, the forward played 72 regular-season games for Texas and finished with 32 points, scoring 18 goals and adding 14 assists. He also had two game-winning goals, which matters because his offense came in line with the schedule, not as a one-week spike. Scott ranked fifth on the team with 122 shots on goal and eighth in scoring, a profile that suggests he can drive secondary scoring while handling a regular AHL workload.

There is also playoff evidence in Scott’s file. He has 19 career Calder Cup Playoff games, and that experience is useful for a club that wants forwards who do not need to be shielded once the games tighten. He has already shown he can survive the pace and pressure of spring hockey, which helps explain why Dallas kept him in the organization rather than treating him as a fill-in piece.

Seminoff brings a different kind of value, and in some ways a more obvious one. The 22-year-old posted 50 points in 72 games for Texas, finishing with 24 goals and 26 assists. His 24 goals led all Texas skaters, as did his 153 shots, while his 50 points ranked second on the team. That is not fringe production. That is a forward who has become one of the club’s main sources of finish and volume shooting.

The larger organizational point is hard to miss. Seminoff has now played 198 career AHL regular-season games, all with Texas, and has produced 74 points with a plus-17 rating. He also has eight points in 23 career Calder Cup Playoff games. That is the record of a player Dallas knows well, one who has already spent years inside the system and can be trusted to fill a defined role without much hand-holding.

Taken together, the extensions sketch out Texas’ forward mix for 2026-27. Scott looks like a checking and secondary-scoring winger who has shown enough offensive touch to matter on the call-up chart. Seminoff looks like a higher-end AHL scorer, the kind of player who can anchor a middle-six role in Texas and provide shot generation and finishing touch when injuries hit upstairs. Dallas is not just keeping bodies in the building. It is preserving two different answers to the same roster problem: dependable AHL minutes now, and organizational depth when the NHL club needs a forward who already knows the system.
