The Stars trade for Patrick Sharp broke during Friday's fan event, and television pre-game host Josh Bogorad was the man with the news.
The Dallas Stars fans who got out to Friday's Party in the Park in downtown Dallas got a little more excitement than they bargained for.
During a portion of the evening where Stars television pre-game host Josh Bogorad was interviewing color man Daryl Reaugh and new play-by-play guy Dave Strader, a member of the Stars front office wandered up to pass on a teeny, tiny, inconsequential bit of information.
That, of course, was the news that Patrick Sharp had been traded to Dallas from the Chicago Blackhawks along with prospect Stephen Johns for Ryan Garbutt and Trevor Daley.
