McDonald is slated to become an unrestricted free agent Wednesday after he didn't receive a qualifying offer from the Stars.
McDonald has played exclusively for AHL Texas over the past three seasons, most recently generating three goals, eight assists and 10 PIM across 29 regular-season appearances during the 2025-26 campaign. He'll attempt to seek out other opportunities during the offseason.

Stars' Kyle McDonald: Scores twice Friday
Rotowire
McDonald scored two goals in AHL Texas' 6-5 overtime win over Henderson on Friday.
McDonald has racked up three goals over the last two games. It looks like he has his timing back after missing more than two months to begin the season while recovering from an ACL surgery. The 23-year-old winger has nine points in 15 AHL games, and he's yet to make his NHL debut despite getting a call-up during the 2024-25 campaign.

McDonald (knee) was placed on non-roster injured reserve Monday.
General manager Jim Nill revealed in September that McDonald would be sidelined until at least November after undergoing ACL surgery, so the 23-year-old's IR designation isn't particularly surprising. Once he's healthy, he'll presumably head back to AHL Texas after making 43 regular-season appearances with the minor-league club last year.

Stars' Kyle McDonald: Promoted from AHL
Rotowire
McDonald was called up from AHL Texas on Saturday.
McDonald has only three goals and two assists in 31 AHL games with Texas this season. The Stars are down to only 12 healthy forwards, so McDonald is likely to be a healthy scratch Sunday against Columbus, barring an injury up front.
