Depends when the pick would be made, with respect to a deal with Dallas and if it's unprotected. This year Dallas is more or less guaranteed to be in the playoffs, and more than likely to go far. Unprotected meh. Future years, you never know. That would be more intriguing to me.
Unless they lose Robertson somehow, I expect they are a lock for the playoffs for the foreseeable future.
They have a tight cap situation next year thanks to Robertson's next contract and Seguin still being on the books. After Seguin comes off the books and they have an opportunity to make some significant additions to their core with $44M in cap space to play with.
I wouldn't get very excited about a Stars 1st round pick in the next 5 years.
Just thinking...does Kadri not make sense for Vegas? Seems to be some chatter around William Karlsson being done for the year.
On Boston...is there a chance the deal that ends up happening is sweetend to the tune of 1st + Lohrei + Lysell?
No. Nothing Vegas offers the Flames can justify helping them this season while we hold their 1st round pick. We would be better off sending Kadri to the Sharks, Ducks, or Kraken... or to any team that actually has assets worth trading Kadri for.
There was also some talk that Detroit was only interested if Andersson would extend with them.
Or at least that they were only offering that particular deal if Andersson would extend.

Gang, I'm curious: what needs to be in an Andersson trade return for it to be deemed a successful trade? (Does whether Andersson re-ups wherever he lands or not make a difference to you?)
