I believe the Russell trade is for young defenseman on roster, forward prospect and conditional pick

lirl

Unless we traded literally nothing, we ****** up

 

[WhoahNow]

I feel ill

couldve been worse

This is just gross

 

[serp]

If the 2nd is really conditional the only thing of value if Pollock and he's still a couple of years away. Looks pretty promising though ...

Gonna miss Kevin but he really sucked in his last few chance . Like major balls.

if dallas makes the conf finals its a 1st

 

[Ub the Bub]

Atleast we didn't give up anything that we couldn't spare... I definitely wanna know what that condition is though.

Edit:

if dallas makes the conf finals its a 1st

Wait, really?! Ok, I don't like this trade anymore...

Seems like a lot, but then again, Nill has spoiled us on returns. It will probably be brought up next year when he wants to do a TDL deal and his people talk him out of it.

Other than that, typical TDL deal. JJ had fallen below Nemeth, for some reason they like Jamie O, and Pollack isn't one of their top forward prospects, certainly replaceable. I hope its only a second if the Stars make the WCF, and a third otherwise (from SJ)

 

[serp]

Wait that can turn into a first not become a third or fourth or something when we WILL crash and burn ?

 

[Duffeldof]

Way too expensive.

 

[Mr Misty]

Oh noes, now the playoff GDTs are gonna be full of Calgary people

Condition on the pick: If the Stars reach conference finals and Russell plays 50% of the games in the first two rounds, pick turns to a 1st

 

[petestreet]

this is ugly

 

[WhoahNow]

Now our junior rank prospects are pitiful, and we have less picks too. Nill better see something amazing in Russell that I don't otherwise I hate this deal.

Well, we can bench him every other game right?

 

[Skobel24]

Go Dallas Go.

 

[Mr Misty]

Go Dallas Go.

And it begins...

Probably be a million of em in every GDT from here on out

 

[serp]

I think Pollock was our only decent forward prospect in North American Juniors right ? Everyone else good is already up in Cedar Park or still overseas .

If it makes you feel better, I'd like to see Dallas win the cup. Not just cheering for conference finals.

I use humor to deal with this tragedy, it's my only defense mechanism

Stars fans will like this trade after one playoff game. Don't worry
