To the Dallas Stars:

Adam Larsson
$5.50 million

To the New York Islanders:

Martin Necas
2018 1st
2018 2nd*

*becomes a 2018 3rd if Larsson plays under 70 games in 2017-18

The first is off to San Jose to satisfy a condition from a god-awful trade I made a few months ago. Jesus, what a horrific trade.

Anyway, I'm glad to make this deal. Necas was a top-10 pick in the CPHL draft this past year and went 12th-overall to the thin-at-centre Hurricanes in the NHL this year. He's a prospect that I'm thrilled to acquire. The 2nd is gravy here.

I was incredibly high on Necas pre-draft, I would have picked him as high as 5th overall, even over Elias Pettersson. I'm thrilled with this deal, as I essentially view it as trading Larsson for two firsts and a second. Even without the first, I like this trade.

Thanks for the talks, TurdFerguson.
