Dallas announced this afternoon that they have traded Tye Felhaber to Tampa. The return is Alexey Lipanov, who will report immediately to Texas.
Felhaber had high hopes coming into Texas after a strong OHL career but never lived up to the scoring expectations that many had for him. He was a great locker room guy by all accounts I have heard but wasn't able to stay in the lineup reliably with his play.
Texas plays in Manitoba on Friday. More to come on whether Lipanov will be available.
Here's the release:
Dallas Stars General Manager Jim Nill announced today that the club has acquired forward Alexey Lipanov via trade from Tampa Bay in exchange for forward Tye Felhaber.
