DAL - COL

[Dallas Stars GM]

to DAL: Brandon Saad (64)

to COL: Eric Tangradi (76) + Kyle Chipchura (81) + Alexander Henriksson (80) + Alexander Khokhlachev (57) + Jake Dotchin (60)

Reasoning: Although I'm losing two quality defensive forwards in Tangradi and Chipchura, I'm still in a good position with having Caputi and Palmieri (not mentiong recently drafted two-way forwards in the making: Ryan MacInnis, Nikita Scherbak, Conner Bleackley and Arkhip Nekolenko) to play their roles and also Kurker and Jankowski will jump on the offence in the next season so I am fine with it and I am adding a really nice piece to my offence with Saad who could be great complement to Armia. Giving away prospects (Henriksson, Khokhlachev, Dotchin) wont hurt me as much as I already drafter much better players in this draft and others are on its way and my minor league team Texas is already pretty strong. Typical package deal. I am fitting the needs of the Avs and Avs are fitting my needs. Thanks for the deal and good luck.

Thanks for the deal Martin. I needed to add some depth, and for that it was required to move Saad. The players I am receiving aren't without their weaknesses, but they each bring their own elements to the team that I've been lacking (i.e. some defense). I get two guys who can step into the lineup immediately, and some other projects that can help fill out my AHL team while they develop. Thanks Martin!
