Seminoff delivered the breakout his first two pro seasons only hinted at, leading the Texas offense with 24 goals and 50 points in 72 games with a plus-13, then adding four points in five playoff games. The 22-year-old was the engine of the AHL club all season, and Dallas moved before free agency to keep him, signing him to a two-year, two-way extension on June 25 that runs through 2027-28. The context makes the deal interesting: he is waiver-eligible for the first time this fall, and a 50-point AHL scorer on an $875,000 NHL cap hit is exactly the kind of contract that draws claims. The 2022 sixth-rounder’s game grew in the details this year, better wall play, more consistent finishing off the rush, and a shooting volume that held up across the full schedule. His fantasy relevance is still a step away, tied to whether the scoring carries into NHL preseason games and forces Dallas’s hand. The next test is September, where a strong camp puts him in the recall conversation and a waiver claim becomes a real possibility either way.

Offensive success has not accompanied Seminoff during his transition from the WHL to the AHL. Case in point, he ended up playing a few games in the ECHL in 2024-25 after a full season in the AHL in 2024-25 as a rookie. This diversion from his trajectory could either be a confidence issue or a struggle to adjust to the physical demands of professional hockey. This upcoming season should give the Dallas Stars organization a better view of where Seminoff’s development is heading. For fantasy hockey managers there’s not much reason to make a spot for Seminoff on your watch list if he cannot stick and crack the half a point per game mark at the AHL level in 2025-26.

Seminoff has been playing for the Texas Stars after signing an entry-level contract with the Dallas Stars in March. Since then, he has been trying to find his game against the new level of talent. His last two seasons in the WHL, Seminoff was well over a point per game player, but that has not been the case thus far in the AHL. Seminoff finally potted his first professional goal last month. However, he is young and there is a lot of room to grow. He has an NHL level release with soft hands, if he can find a way to put it together at another level.

Seminoff has been selected in the sixth round of the 2022 NHL Draft by the Dallas Stars.

Seminoff is having a huge year for Kamloops, sitting behind only Matthew Savoie in points per game among draft-eligible WHL players. One of the older players in the class, he is now in his third WHL season and he has shown notable growth each year.
