This is a trade that shouldn't be classified as having any winners or losers in my opinion. The Boston Bruins with their current lineup should have a 4 year window to compete for the Stanley Cup. The Stars are also doing a great job of building a great team which at the moment is looking like they have a chance for the postseason in a season or two and then ultimately compete for a Stanley Cup. I think this is a trade where the Bruins are going to be at a different level than the Stars now and in a few season when the Bruins time to compete is over the Stars are going to take their place as the contenders in the league.
