Dallas - Montreal

[Vik (Habs)]

To Dallas Stars:
D Jordan Schmaltz (69)
L Sergei Tolchinsky (70)

To Montreal Canadiens:
D Thomas Vannelli (69)
L Semyon Koshelev (51)


Swap of prospects. Schmaltz is a fine youngster that should see some good development this season but I like the guys I'm getting back and wasn't planning on signing Tolchinsky. Vannelli is kind of adding to an area of strength in playmaking D but I think he's pretty so we'll give him a shot. Koshelev's CON may keep him from being a pro but, with his offense, I couldn't resist seeing how it goes.

Thanks for the offer Martin.

I'm pretty much loaded on the offense, for now and for the future as well and I figured out that defense is the department I will have to improve and this trade does it for me, since I believe Schmaltz can grow up into a solid 5-6 defenseman for my team. Tolchinsky will strenghten my A.

Thank you Vik.
