The Dallas Stars kickstarted the NHL Trade Deadline week a little early this year, acquiring defenseman Chris Tanev from the Calgary Flames in exchange for their 2024 2nd round pick, a conditional 2026 3rd round pick, and defenseman prospect Artem Grushnikov. The Flames will retain 50% of Tanev’s contract as part of the transaction.
Additionally, the Stars will also be sending their 2026 4th round pick to the New Jersey Devils in return for unsigned goaltending prospect Cole Brady. The Devils will also retain 50% of Tanev’s contract, meaning Dallas will get Tanev with a total of 75% of his 4.
