<p>The Boston Bruins and Dallas Stars have completed a blockbuster trade that is centered around Tyler Seguin and Loui Eriksson.</p> <p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.stanleycupofchowder.com/">Boston Bruins</a> and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.defendingbigd.com/">Dallas Stars</a> have completed a substantial trade that is centered around the exchange of <span>Tyler Seguin</span> and <span>Loui Eriksson</span>, according to <a href="https://twitter.com/DarrenDreger/status/352867060470124544">Darren Dreger of TSN</a>.</p>
<p>Boston will be sending Seguin, <span>Rich Peverley</span> and <span>Ryan Button</span> to Dallas for Eriksson, Joe Morrow, <span>Matt Fraser</span> and <span>Reilly Smith</span>.</p>
<p>Seguin has been involved in trade rumors since before the NHL Draft. General manager Peter Chiarelli expressed his disappointment in Seguin and stated that he needed to be a better professional. This was an indication that the organization might have had real intentions to deal Seguin in event of a quality offer presenting itself.</p>
<p>Apparently, Dallas was able to satisfy that need.</p>
<p>Eriksson was a player that had been involved in trade rumors. In fact, <a href="http://www.defendingbigd.com/2013/5/21/4351608/2013-nhl-free-agency-musings-would-dallas-stars-consider-trading-loui">Brandon Worley of Defending Big D</a> wrote about the 27-year-old forward's value in May:</p>
<blockquote>
<p id="paragraph9">Eriksson is one of the top forwards in the NHL, he's under contract for three more seasons at a ridiculously low price and from what we understand his no-trade clause does not begin until the 2013-2014 season. This makes Eriksson an incredibly valuable trade target and could be part of a trade that completely alters the course of this franchise.</p>
<p id="paragraph10">Make no mistake, any trade involving Loui Eriksson would be one hell of a blockbuster.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Blockbuster, indeed.</p>
<p>Seguin now becomes the highest paid player on the Stars (in terms of his annual average value) and has five years remaining on a six-year, $34.5 million contract. Peverley still has two years remaining on a three-year, $9.75 million deal.</p>
<p>The 27-year-old Eriksson has three years remaining on a six-year, $25.5 million contract, while Smith and Fraser still have one year remaining on their deals. They both will be restricted free agents next summer.</p>

<p>The Boston Bruins have been looking to trade Tyler Seguin, according to rumors. Apparently, the club might have found a willing partner in the Dallas Stars.</p> <p>UPDATE: The deal appears official now, with <a target="_blank" href="http://www.sbnation.com/2013/7/4/4493952/boston-bruins-dallas-stars-tyler-seguin-loui-eriksson-trade">details here</a>.</p>
<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.stanleycupofchowder.com/">Boston Bruins</a> and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.defendingbigd.com/">Dallas Stars</a> are working toward a trade that would be centered around <span>Loui Eriksson</span> and <span>Tyler Seguin</span>, according to <a href="https://twitter.com/DarrenDreger/status/352849443525115906">Darren Dreger of TSN</a> on Thursday afternoon.</p>
<p>It remains unclear how far along negotiations are at this time.</p>
<p>However, rumors about Seguin have been circulating since before the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/nhl-draft">NHL Draft</a>, and general manager Peter Chiarelli stated earlier this week that he believed Seguin needed to become a better professional. In essence, Chiarelli didn't sound too pleased with his young forward.</p>
<p>Eriksson has also been a name rumored as potentially available. Dallas has been active in offseason free agent chatter and was believed to be a favorite to land <span>Vincent Lecavalier</span>. Ultimately, that proved not to be the case. New general manager Jim Nill is evidently ready to make some changes in Dallas. A potential swap of Eriksson for Seguin would certainly achieve that.</p>
