DAL - FLA

[Dallas Stars GM]

to Dallas Stars:
David Gustafsson (76)
Shane Pinto (75)


to Florida Panthers:
Jason Robertson (73)
Robert Thomas (71)


Some good-old-fashioned, two for two deal, even if it's more of a bottom six, depth players.
Long story short: Robertson is better rounded that Gustafsson but I like the fact that Gustafsson is actually a C and be a good 4th line C down the road.
Pinto is a depth piece, replacing Thomas in Texas.

[PanthersGM]

Gustafsson is very much stuck behind a deep group of centers on the Panthers, and I really don’t want to leave him slowly rotting away in the minors. So in comes Robertson, a more well rounded player who provides some much needed depth at RW and some hitting ability to a Panther squad that could use some more.

The other half of the trade is swapping one of my several Pinto-type farmers with one who’s more offence oriented, both to help develop the kids and help out the bottom six if he pans out.
