Confirmed with Link: DAL trades Anders Lindback/Cond. '16 3rd R to BUF for Jhonas Enroth

Music to my ears! Let's get this trainwreck back on track and into the POs!

OMG ... just keeps getting better.

I'm sure Buffalo fans are losing their minds about why this wasn't Nichushkin and a 1st round pick coming back.

 

[Dallasman]

Nill trades away the problem he created again before the deadline. Pattern emerging.

Good price though. 2016 is wonderful. Wonder if the condition is playoffs of re-signing. No more Lindback yay.

At least he can fix his issue and KNOWS he has an issue.

I like this deal.

Not so much.

Enjoy the Swedish Ewok, guys.


He's on one of his white-hot streaks right now, so you guys might want to plug him in net and ride him until he cools.

When he cools, you'll know it. His 5-hole will become the size of the Grand Canyon and he'll be VERY susceptible to a well-placed shot.

I think that was his point. It's a good thing. The dude has no issue fixing a mistake he made. Or at least trying in Thomas' case.

Thanks for the info. Hopefully he'll get a chance to push Kari who has struggled this year. I was joking FWIW ... but there were some seriously delusional conversations about his value.

 

[Dr Pepper]

They JUST lost to this guy on Saturday.....I guess that was all the proof they needed.

Sweet deal for the Stars! Love the fact that it's next year's pick as well. Not bad for a second starting goalie, lol

 

[Henderson33]

Great deal!

I'm glad Nill isn't afraid to correct his mistakes, but he needs to stay away from free agents and just trade from now on

 

[Starsfan24]

And now to Facebook for the inevitable we screwed ourselves over.

 

[BigG44]

My guess is they don't start him at home on Friday night. He probably get the away game Saturday against Colorado. Big, big game though. I guess we will see.

 

[BigG44]

This is less good:

FYI on the conditional pick in Enroth deal: the pick can change depending on Stars making the playoffs and Enroth winning games in playoffs

Sounds like condition is it gets better. I bet it's a potential 2nd rounder next year maybe.

I like that it's not tied to signing honestly. If he's good, they should sign him, and being scared about a pick shouldn't stop that.

With as bad as Kari has been against Colorado, I think this is the right way to go.

 

[Brand New Stars]

Watch him have a bad first game and Ruff never plays him again.

 

[Cin]

I like that the condition is playoffs. I think that shows Nill's mindset heading into D-day.

 

[Troy McClure]

Enroth should be the starter for the remainder of the season to get a feel for whether he's worthy of an extension.

 

[Zman5778]

Watch him have a bad first game and Ruff never plays him again.

From what I recall, Ruff and Enroth got along pretty well......and a couple of times Ruff rode a hot Enroth over Miller.

A hot Enroth is a VERY, VERY good NHL goalie. A hot Enroth will win you games and possibly playoff series.


A cold Enroth.........is Lindback.

 

[MetalGodAOD*]

Hoping and guessing something like:

4th if no playoffs
3rd if playoffs
2nd if Enroth wins a few games in Playoffs.

 

[Brand New Stars]

Enroth should be the starter for the remainder of the season to get a feel for whether he's worthy of an extension.

Agreed. I see a lot of people freaking out.

 

[Cin]

Enroth should be the starter for the remainder of the season to get a feel for whether he's worthy of an extension.

I'd have no issue with that at all.

 

[My Cozen Dylan]

Congrats guys! Enroth is a heart and soul guy and is a heck of a goalie despite his size.


BTW...Is Lindback as bad as I fear he is?

Yeah, he's pretty horrible. At least he helps your tank efforts!

You have no idea.

 

[Mr Misty]

Congrats guys! Enroth is a heart and soul guy and is a heck of a goalie despite his size.

Yes, 320 shot attempts and 25 goals for 1 goal every 12.8. Enroth faced 66 per game, for an expected gaa of more than 5.

Here it is:

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie

If Jonas Enroth wins 4 playoff games for DAL, BUF gets 2nd round pick instead of 3rd. That's the condition. But BUF guaranteed at least 3rd.

If Enroth wins Dallas a playoff series ... I'll gladly give that 2nd for the little dude.
