Was in "The Provies" in the Vancouver Province this morning.  The Hawks scouts were in Calgary on Friday and the Stars had two scouts at both the Friday game and last nights game.

Vrbata to Hawks for a 2nd and 4th

 

Hamhuis and the Chicago 2nd to Dallas for Nicushkin?

On paper, Valeri would be a solid addition to the Top-6. The issues surrounding him are his game-to-game inconsistencies and the fact he doesn't utilize his size and strength often enough. He has sweet hands and has got great hustle down low but he could get into the high traffic areas more often.

 

He's also dealt with some injuries which have somewhat slowed his development.

 

With the Stars currently in "win now" mode, I wouldn't be surprised to see them pull the trigger.

 

But for the same reasons that Vancouver would like him, Calgary is interested too. They have a cheaper Kris Russell to offer (not to mention younger) and Valeri adding some size to their young core would be ideal.

 

It'll come down to which team wants to throw in the better draft pick or prospect.
