DALLAS (AP) -Phoenix Coyotes leading scorer Ladislav Nagy was traded Monday to the Dallas Stars for left wing Mathias Tjarnqvist and a first-round draft pick in June.

Nagy had 41 points (eight goals, 33 assists) in 55 games for Phoenix.

The 27-year-old Nagy is in seventh NHL season, having played in Phoenix since being traded there from the St. Louis Blues on March 13, 2001. Nagy was a seventh-round pick by the Blues in 1997 and made his NHL debut in 1999. In 372 career games, he has 102 goals and 169 assists.

I think that may be just the start in Phoenix. Teams are going to start pressing now for players like Reinprecht, Doan and Morris, just to name a few.

I don't think he's the goal scorer Dallas needed but he certainly will help the offense a lot. Definatly worth Tjarnqvist and a pick.

Hmm... I don't know if he's what they were looking for. Anyway, on the whole it wasn't expensive. Where was JFJ's head at with Nik Antropov ready to be traded away? All it took was a 1st rounder and a Mathias Tjarnqvist?

Well, I guess that's it. Nagy's the only kind of LWer that I that can fill in the top like position in Toronto IMO, and if the team was really serious, I hope to hear somewhere that they ,ade a puc hfor him... which I doubt.

I would hope that there is similar out there, but I don't think a Ryan Smyth is the kind of player they need, despite how good he is. They needed a skilled winger like Nagy (no offence to Darcy Tucker).

Good for Dallas... maybe. We'll see, but usually the Stars emd up letting the player they traded for go, because they didn't fit in on the team, but of course that's after the playoffs.

Leaf, when was the last time a Leafs GM made a GOOD trade at the deadline? There's a reason why they haven't won't since 1967. It starts with the management.

Yeah...

Don't I ever know it. :(
