Confirmed with Link: DAL trades Brenden Morrow/3rd R '13 to PIT for Joe Morrow/5th R '13
- Thread starter Stars99Lobo37
- Start date
As a Wilkes Barrie fan I have watched Joe Morrow and the kid is going to be a stud. He just needs a little more time. He has all the tools, a cannon of a shot, tremendous skater, and not afraid to mix it up. The Pens defensive system is a tough one to play. He may have an easier time with the Dallas system. I predict he will play in your top 4 by the second half of next season.

Im actually surprised by the Stars fans who dont like this trade, I dont see how you could expect anymore for a guy like Brenden Morrow nowadays. Guess it is hard for me because I really am shocked that Brenden was able to fetch an exciting prospect over a 2nd or 3rd rounder
Half of Dallas fans on Facebook probably don't know Morrow is a UFA or what a prospect is.

Hey guys, sorry if this has been asked, but any indication about which of your third rounders we got? You have Minnesota's and Edmonton's, right?

none that ive seen. hell i never saw an official announcement of which third we gave up in the cole/ryder trade so they arent exactly big about giving out the information.

I believe that was your own third. I'll keep my eyes peeled...whatever that means.

Yeah i am pretty sure it was. That seems to be the accepted reality, anyway. It just would be nice if they just gave the information when the officially announce the trade.
I think the 3rd that was traded for Erik Cole was originally Philadelphia's (which we got in the Nick Grossmann trade), and the 3rd we gave up in this deal was our own.
That leaves the Stars the 3rd round pick they got from Edmonton for trading Mark Fistric right?

I'll spill some more confusion out here...the 3rd you got from Philadelphia for Grossmann was actually Minnesota's from the Darroll Powe trade.
So you had as many as three thirds and two are gone...
3rd (EDM)
3rd (DAL) -> I think this went to Montreal (Ryder/Cole)
3rd (MIN)
So that leaves either Edmonton or Minnesota. Someone suggested that it's conditional that the Pens get the "worst" one, meaning the one in worse draft position (likely, Minnesota's)...but I've never seen that confirmed.
The Stars PR staff isn't exactly the most accommodating I've dealt with and it doesn't like you guys are wild about the information you get either...

No.
We gave up our 3rd in the Montreal deal.
We had Minnesota's 3rd rounder from the Philadelphia (Grossmann) trade.
And got the 3rd round from Edmonton.

Free agency doesn't matter. All of those same people would have thrown the same fit if the Stars did not re-sign Morrow.
Pens fan.
congratz on the trade. I for one think you have a gem in Joe Morrow. He is going to be a top pairing defensemen/PPQB some day. I'll be shocked if he isn't a top defensemen in the NHL for years to come.
We got a gritty guy back that if he can't find his legs again and doesn't resign for a year or 2 we got robbed, imo.

I don't know, as I never looked into them. But I guess if they have that, then they should be considered team media. I always considered them another group following the team, but not affiliated with it.
I believe they do get access to the Press box. I've seen random tweets from their editors saying as much.
Quote from Morrow:
He's said a few times that he sees the trade as a chance to "re-invigorate him," and that he hopes it will. Subtle way of saying he hasn't been giving 100% the past few years?

Don't think it shocks any of us.
The only vet of our's that gave it 100% night after night throughout this whole situation the last couple of years, was honestly Jere. Don't think it's a shock at all that Joe wanted him back out of everyone that's been traded off or just let go.
