While losing ANOTHER first sucks and rathbone Van aquires another Legit top 4 nhl RHD which is a huge need for us. while he is having a down year with the Stars i think that's due to the system he plays. I think he would really flourish under Bruce. one of Klingberg's biggest strengths is his transition game. Which for a run and gun team like Vancouver is very Vaulable. While he might not be the pure Shutdown chris tanev esc Dman he is still very capable in his own zone. while also being a good locker room addition with being friends with OEL and another Veteran Swede to help Pettey

The way i see it from Dallas point of view is they get a pick in the 11-20th range to help kick start a rebuild while getting one of the better Dman Prospects in the league for a guy that isn't going to re-sign. Poolman and Hamonic can be flipped at the TDL for some more pieces with some money retained they are mostly in the deal for cap reason. while throwing in some picks to help with the cost of taking on the full contracts. While neither contract is that much of cap dump. the way i see the Trade is Rathbone and 1st for Klingberg and a 3 and 4th to take on Poolman and Hamonic who are serviceable nhl Dman. with them either of their contracts being short or not much money
