Report: A Dallas Stars Trade For Shawn Horcoff In The Works?

UPDATE: It appears as though the trade is for Philip Larsen and a 7th round pick.

Confirming #Oilers get 2016 7th round pick and D Larsen in return for Horcoff going to #Stars.

Oilers-Stars still working on Horcoff trade. Hearing defenseman Philip Larsen and a 7th to Oil. Could be more going to Dallas. #TSN

END UPDATE:

The Dallas Stars might not be done on the trade front just yet.

The word from TSN is that the Edmonton Oilers and the Dallas Stars have all but reached a deal to move Shawn Horcoff to Dallas.

It is not yet known what is going back to the Oilers, but it would appear as though there are multiple pieces involved in the trade, much like the Loui Eriksson and Tyler Seguin trade.

Horcoff is/was the captain of the Oilers, providing leadership in the locker room as well as his on ice contributions.

What do you think of this possible acquisition? A good move, or no? Does it depend on what is going back to Edmonton?

We will update this article as it moves along,

Waiting for final details. @TSNBobMcKenzie, but told Horcoff to Dallas involves a few pieces.

Sounds like DAL and EDM still finalizing Horcoff deal and as @DarrenDreger reports, more than one piece is involved. — Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) July 5, 2013

But Horcoff, who has a limited NTC, has been informed he's going to DAL.
