BUNTING DEALT TO DALLAS
The Dallas Stars acquired winger Michael Bunting from the Nashville Predators for a third-round draft pick in 2026.
What does it give the Dallas Stars
Bunting is a classic shift-disturbing winger who grates on the opposition, which is exactly the type of player who can be successful in the Stanley Cup playoffs. He is also useful on offense and can be used in front of the net on the power play.
What does it give the Nashville Predators
The Predators have now traded away Michael McCarron, Cole Smith, Nick Blankenburg and now Bunting in recent days. Despite the fact they are relatively close to a Wild Card berth in the Western Conference, the Preds are clear sellers here.
Fantasy impact
Expect Bunting to get a boost with the trade to Dallas. How much of a boost may depend on his power-play usage. He could be worth adding in many fantasy formats.
