- A two way defenseman that likely wouldn't even have a place in our top-4 (Honka, Klingberg, Lindell, Heiskanen)
- A backup goalie, which the Stars can get cheap on the FA market
- A 1st round pick NEXT year
- A 5th round pick in 2020
All for one of the best players in the game?
I'm sorry, but this deal is ridiculous. Dallas has a log-jam at defense as it is and can get a backup through free agency. Sure, Grubauer might be better than the guys via FA, but the difference between him and the FA goalies is absolutely not worth losing one of the elite scorers in the game. This deal makes absolutely zero sense for Dallas.
And don't even get me started on the Benn deal. A 6th round pick, a worse defenseman than the one listed above, and a couple of picks in later drafts? Yeah, Dallas laughs at you and then hangs up the phone.
