This is their cup window and Bourque is playing in the AHL currently. Even if guys went down with injury, is anyone expecting Bourque to make a bigger impact this year in the playoffs than Tanev would? Isn't that what it comes down to for a contending team?
Also Dallas has all their picks for the next few years. Give us your prospect, and then they can just replenish their cupboard at the draft anyway. Seems like a win-win.

Bourque is one of their top prospects, arguably #2, in a team with a really strong prospect pool.
Teams typically dont trade these types of guys especially for for UFAs at the deadline. It would of been like us giving up coronato or Wolf in the Toffoli deal. Same reason we didn't get Lekkerimaki or Wallander from the canucks.
Someone like Lundkvist, Dellandrea, Grushnikov, Kyrou or if we're lucky Bischel is probably what we see coming back (+ a pick to balance accordingly).
