Stars get Bure from the Panthers

The Dallas Stars have acquired winger Valeri Bure from the Florida Panthers in exchange for prospect Drew Bagnall and a draft pick.
Bure, the Panthers' leading scorer with 45 points in 55 games, will add some scoring punch to a Stars offence that has scored only 160 goals this season, 20th in the NHL.
"Valeri Bure is a skilled winger that we feel will bring some offensive punch to our team," said Dallas general manager Doug Armstrong.
A five-time 20-goal scorer, 29 year-old Bure has 393 points in 608 career games.
The draft pick is a compensatory pick that the Stars owned for losing free agent defenceman Derian Hatcher.
Bagnall, a defenceman, was a 6th round pick of the Stars in 2003 and had 18 points in 37 games as a freshman at St. Lawrence University.
