Dallas Stars Acquire Forward Mats Zuccarello


Formerly the owner of Cross Country Auto Sales, Randy Eastburg founded Valley Ridge Roofing and Construction in 2010 and has grown it to the point where it handles as many as 60 residential roofing jobs per month along with a steady flow of commercial contracts. A passionate sports fan, Randy Eastburg counts the Dallas Stars as his favorite National Hockey League (NHL) team.

In an effort to bolster its roster for an extended playoff run, the Stars acquired veteran forward Mats Zuccarello from the New York Rangers on February 24 in exchange for a pair of conditional draft picks. If Dallas makes the playoffs and Zuccarello plays in at least half of the team's games in the first two rounds, New York receives a first-round pick instead of a second-round pick in the 2019 NHL Draft. Moreover, if Zuccarello, who is a pending unrestricted free agent, signs with the Stars in the offseason, New York receives an additional first-round pick in the 2020 NHL Draft instead of a third-round pick. 

A 31-year-old native of Oslo, Norway, Zuccarello made his NHL debut with the Rangers in 2010 and has since played 509 career regular season games and 60 playoff games with the team. He had 113 goals and 239 assists in the regular season with the Rangers and an additional 31 points in the playoffs. Zuccarello registered a goal and an assist in his first game with the Stars.
