Acquire Two Quality Players to Solidify Winning Intentions
Dallas, TX The Stars made a big splash as free agency began on Thursday, but not by inking a contract.
The Stars acquired veteran goalie
Tomas Vokoun and skilled young winger
Nathan Horton from the Florida Panthers. Headed to Sunrise are
Jamie Benn, prospect
Philip Larsen, and currently qualified RFAs
Matt Niskanen and
Fabian Brunnstrom.
"We feel this is a fair deal for both sides," stated Stars GM IR4. "We payed a heavy price, but we now have an excellent #1 goaltender and another highly talented winger. We wish Jamie, Matt, Fabian, and Philip the best of luck in Florida."
