When y'all made the finals and the pick turned into a 1st, the trade looks very good. I don't know much about Payne but MacDermid appears to have NHL ability on a bottom line. Add this to the 2nd from Vancouver plus an above average defensive prospect for Derek Roy and I believe the Stars definitely got value for their trade deadline moves.

From what I've read: big kid, kind of buried on Plymouths depth chart but showed offensive upside when given an opportunity. Good hitter, will drop the mitts. Bottom 6er, who might chip in a few here and there at the NHL level.
