FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Dallas, Texas - The Stars are pleased to announce the acquisition of three key players: Anson Carter, Steve Reinprecht and Mattias Norstom. They were recently acquired along with $2.5 million dollars and future considerations for center Alexei Yashin and defensemen Branislav Mezei.
We are thrilled to acquire three top talents, said GM Benjamin Yoskovitz. They all have key roles to play with the team. And we now have a level of depth that was previously unavailable to us, which is going to be important down the stretch."
While Reinprecht and Carter have multi-year deals, Norstom is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season. GM Yoskoviz said, "It's our intention to resign Mattias. It's very important that we do so. He's going to be playing alongside Wade Redden on our top pairing.
The future considerations involve draft picks in the event that Norstom does not resign. It's our job as a team to try and protect ourselves against free agency, but that doesn't minimize our interest in locking up Mattias for a few more years to come" said GM Yoskovitz.
