They only get that 3rd round pick if Dallas makes the cup finals so odds are they won't even get that pick. So 2 pieces and neither is a premium asset. oh well

Yeah I see that now. Return sucks unless Grushnikov becomes any good. Conroy failed and pulled the trigger too early I think

I think your expectations for a return on Tanev were much too high. A 2nd and a lower level prospect are what most people expected for someone of Tanev's ability. Hanifin should get a much better return at least

Boom 💥 I was right. Tanev fetched a 2nd + Conroy’s Top Prospect Grushnikov + a potential 3rd and they didn’t accept TOR’s crappy 1st. Thanks for recognizing that!

Yep, you were right, Calgary got a 1st round pick from Dallas

Considering Conroy valued Grushnikov + DAL’s 2nd MORE than their 1st, I was right, wasn’t I!!?

The word on Grushnikov is he's less than 50% chance of being an NHL player. I honestly know nothing about him and I'm a Stars season ticket holder so doesn't sound like they had any high hopes for him. At the end of the day I think Calgary was going to get a 2nd for Tanev and they might get a 3rd as well if the Stars get to the final which they have a chance to do so not a bad deal for Calgary

Not terrible but it’ll take years to find out

I guess Conroy is super high on Grushnikov as a Swift Skating, Defensive Defender who plays like a Bulldog in his own end. Many see him as a potential Tanev 2.0 and he fits in with the Offensive Prospects we already have

Rumors are Conroy turned down a 1st, because it was tailed us taking a bad contract back, like Cody Ceci’s, Ryan Reaves or Ryan Johansson being mentioned

Conroy was most interested in a Prospect, because the Draft Pedigree is supposed to drop off dramatically after 20th Overall and it’d take years to develop that player, whereas Grushnikov was a need and already in the process. I think he was rated as DAL’s 10th or 11th Prospect and CapFriendly has him rated as a projected 80P3. He’s just not gonna put up any points
