Kraws didn't receive a qualifying offer from the Stars, and he'll become an unrestricted free agent Wednesday.
Kraws was recalled on an emergency basis ahead of postseason play last year, but he didn't make his NHL debut. He spent most of his time with ECHL Idaho, where he went 16-12-2 with a 3.03 GAA and .908 save percentage across 31 regular-season appearances. He'll attempt to seek out other opportunities during the offseason.

Kraws saw action in four AHL games with Texas, going 0-3-0 with a 4.34 GAA and an .840 save percentage. The 25-year-old will likely be a practice goaltender, giving Jake Oettinger or Casey DeSmith some time off the day after a playoff game.
