It's been a very newsy morning in Frisco. Word came down that Mark Fistric has been suspended three games for charging, Alex Goligoski and Trevor Daley are 100% ready for tomorrow (wow, on Goligoski!) and that Brenden Morrow is only "likely" after 16 days off.

As if that wasn't enough information to consume, word also comes that Krys Barch has played his last game for the Dallas Stars.

Krys Barch was traded today along with a sixth round pick in next years draft for left wing Jake Hauswirth and Florida's fifth round pick this summer. Hauswirth is 23 years old and has spent his career in the ECHL and CHL. We're hearing he'll likely go to the Idaho Steelheads, not the Texas Stars, and is a long shot to ever make the NHL.

The guess is that this is more about freeing up roster spots for when Adam Burish comes back soon, and allowing Krys Barch the opportunity to get NHL minutes. For the trouble the Stars get their 6th round pick upgraded to a 5th rounder, basically. (The Stars have done quite well in that 5th round in recent years).

This opens the door for Tomas Vincour to stay with Dallas longer, or else be called up more frequently as injuries require, and it let's Krys Barch, a friend of DBD and a proud, hard worker, to play the game he loves more regularly with the Florida Panthers.

We thank Krys Barch for a wealth of fun fight memories and tweets.

Frisco, TX - The Dallas Stars announced today that the club has traded right wing Krystofer Barch and Dallas' sixth-round pick in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft in exchange for left wing Jake Hauswirth and Florida's fifth-round pick in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.
