Believe the Dallas Stars are close on Kris Russell

Russell to DAL
Pat Steinberg @Fan960Steinberg
Sounds like a pair of players and a 2nd round pick for Russell. #Flames

I believe the Russell trade is for young defenseman on roster, forward prospect and conditional pick
Pat Steinberg @Fan960Steinberg
Hearing it’s Russell for D Jyrki Jokipakka, F Brett Pollock and a 2nd round pick. #Flames
News Update
Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC
If DAL makes conference Final, that second becomes a first. Burke will next appear on-air in a Stars jersey.

Condition on the pick: If the Stars reach conference finals and Russell plays 50% of the games in the first two rounds, pick turns to a 1st
