"We're not sure on the next game, but we're sure he's going to get in right away here," said Stars coach Glen Gulutzan. "If I'm betting I'm probably betting we're going to put him in the lineup on Tuesday in Columbus and kind of rotate some guys in and out."

Nystrom should make his debut with the Stars this season. Considering he likely plays at best on the third line, he holds minimal fantasy hockey value.

The Minnesota Wild has come to an agreement with the Dallas Stars on a trade that will send forward Eric Nystrom to Dallas in exchange for future considerations.

This move clears the Wild from demoting an NHL-ready player while the Dallas Stars climb closer to the salary cap floor. Don't expect too much from the second-generation player as he only scored 23 goals over 286 NHL games.
