Mike Heika at the Dallas Morning News reports that Brandon Dubinsky is a player he’d like to see the Dallas Stars target at the trade deadline.
Heika adds that Dubinsky has lost minutes to Derek Stepan and is just floating around which fits perfectly into Joe Nieuwendyk philosophy to go after players who need to get more minutes and more opportunity.
…in looking at the Stars roster the only player I’d even consider trading Dubinsky for is Sheldon Souray, just kidding, Loui Eriksson (17g, 27a) who had such amazing chemistry with Richards last season in Dallas.
…the 27-year-old Eriksson is only making 50k more per year than the 26-year-old Dubinsky, but his contract ends in 2016, while Dubi’s ends in 2015.
…having said that, I would be upset if Dubi was traded. Despite his scoring struggles this season, the guy gives 100% every night and is a huge part of the Rangers core. I think moving a guy like Dubinsky could potentially effect the Rangers chemistry negatively.
