After watching last night's insane 4-3 win over Edmonton, I have a few random thoughts to share and as we gear up for our big fundraiser tomorrow.

Yesterday, The Copper & Blue wrote an article about how Sheldon Souray would be the perfect fit for the Dallas Stars come the trade deadline. It's a great argument, we've even discussed this trade ourselves, and it certainly bears to reason that Souray to Dallas would be a decent move for the future of this team. He has a big cannon of a shot from the point, he's solid defensively and would help even out the minutes for the defensemen the Stars do have.

In talking with Derek Zona, it seems to be that what the Oilers would want in return would be some combination of Matt Niskanen, Tom Wandell and a 2nd or 3rd round draft pick. While I would hate to give up Wandell so soon, to nab a player like Souray would be worth it.

The big issue at hand, of course, are the financial terms. Souray is signed through 2011-12 at $5.4 million per season. While the hopes are that the Stars will be able to open up the pocket books a bit this summer, whether the team can afford to take on that contract at this point. Granted, there will be just $1.1 million remaining after the trade deadline it's unknown whether the Stars have the type of flexibility in their internal payroll to take on this contract without giving up major pieces first.

Of course, the pockets will have to open up this summer with so many RFA's and UFA's needing to either be re-signed or let go. The Stars are in desperate need of one more big defensemen and a goaltender; the supposed departure of Marty Turco will help free up finances as well.

If the Stars do indeed make some big trades at the deadline, including one that sends Turco elsewhere, the likelihood of a trade for a player of Souray's caliber increases.

The question for everyone here: is Sheldon Souray a player you feel the Stars should target?
