DALLAS -- Chris Tanev was right at the top of the list of players the Dallas Stars hoped to add before the trade deadline. They now just have to wait a few more days to get the veteran defenseman in their uniform.

Tanev's debut with the Stars will likely have to wait until they are on the road next week. The 34-year-old Canadian, acquired from Calgary in a three-team deal, has to work through the process of obtaining a U.S. visa before joining the Stanley Cup contender.

"I think he may join us on the road Monday," Stars general manager Jim Nill said Thursday, when the Stars played Winnipeg a day after completing the trade.
