Dallas Stars -- Pittsburgh Penguins

Post by Penguin »

F- Chris Higgins (65)
D- Jamieson Oleksiak (86)

D- Kimmo Timonen (77)
D- Ryan Graves (80)
PIT 3rd round pick 2014



Reasoning: Oleksiak is the best player in the deal because he can move the puck. But, I needed more of a hitter on my 3rd pairing and Graves can crush skulls. As for Higgins, he's been awful and doesn't even win his face-offs at 86FA. Much rather have a leader like Timonen for the rest of the season. The 3rd covers the long period of time it will take me to develop Graves and the value between Higgins and Timonen, regardless of Dallas keeping him or not.

Short explanation : There's no use for Timonen in my team anymore and even though Higgins isn't any better than him from my perspective, at least his salary is little bit lower and he's in his last year of his contract so I will not have any problem with him in a long-term view. Trading Graves + 3rd rnd pick for Oleksiak is kind of quantity for quality deal for me and I'm happy to be on the "quality" side of the trade deal. Good deal for me.. Thanks.
