The Dallas Stars are sellers leading up to Wednesday afternoon’s NHL trade deadline with three players — forwards Lauri Korpikoski and Patrick Sharp plus defenseman Johnny Oduya — unrestricted free agents at the end of the season who could be moved.
On Friday, Dallas made its first move, trading veteran forward Patrick Eaves, who had set a career high with 21 goals, to Anaheim for a conditional second-round pick in the 2017 NHL Draft. And on Monday afternoon, the Stars shipped defenseman Jordie Benn, the older brother of Dallas captain Jamie Benn, to Montreal for defenseman Greg Pateryn and a fourth-round pick in the 2017 draft.
