We have the assets to acquire a type of defenseman like this. To our advantage, we are relatively deep with young centers, and there's only so many roster spots.

Not a bad idea. We have a few forward prospects that we are going to be hard pressed to hold on to after this year and guys like Gormley or Savard may be available at the right price. Time to use those assets.
Not sure about Oleksiak though - a defenseman with his pedigree should get a lot of time to develop in Dallas. I doubt they give up on him too quickly. He is only 21 as well. If I were the Stars, I'd hold on to Oleksiak, Klingberg and Dillon for a while. Add Honka to that mix and it could be a pretty good D group in a few years.
