In a deal that came together really quick, thanks to a very good starting offer from Mitch, the Dallas Star gave sent stud rearguard Oliver Ekamn-Larrson to the Canucks in exchange for Slava Voyonov and prospect Rasmus Ristolainen.

Putting OEL on the block was a hard decision to make but clearly our mix needed to change. Really happy to bring Ristolainen back into the fold, I see him as a future all-star. Voyonov will fill a hole in the top 4 and has upside still.

Thanks again to Mitch for the deal. Straight shooter once again!
