Things took a turn for crazy with the Dallas Stars on Thursday afternoon when they suddenly traded away the negotiating rights for defenseman Alex Goligoski to the Arizona Coyotes. Whether you believed it was bound to happen or not, almost no one expected it to happen as quickly as it did.
Many believed that Goligoski would be the one of four UFA defensemen on the Stars blue line that Dallas would try their best to keep. It seems as though they did make an effort at that, but things simply did not work out in the end.
