Bizarre trade for Dallas. I'd take Carrick over Lovejoy.

So the stars traded a 3rd to downgrade their D?

A 35 year old with an approximately $2.7M cap hit brings back that return? Self, repeat after me: we need Michael Stone for depth...we need Michael Stone for depth...we need Michael Stone for depth...

The Stars are such a weird team. I feel like they should be better than they are, but they seem to lack a real identity.

Sellers market on D for sure, but at forward seems like there are a lot more options. Glad the flames are 9 deep on D when healthy. Even Prout has looked decent

Defensive depth is always expensive at trade deadline. This year doesn't even seem like especially bad in that regard.

Why does dallas waste a 3rd rounder on this? Lovejoy is a 6/7 defenseman who is purely a rental. And they gave up a 24yr old #7 defenseman to get him. And then also threw in a 3rd round pick?

And they're probably getting bounced in the first round. Wow - dumb.

Lovejoy is more physical and has been on playoff runs before.

Carrick is one of those guys that someone says 3 years ago “he will be a good top 4 Dman” and some believe it forever. He never developed like that.

Similar to Pickard in net. People want him because he had promise 4 years ago.

A 3rd round pick for upgrade in the veteran leadership and experience. Not a bad trade for either sides.
