    he Dallas Stars traded defenseman Nicklas Grossman to the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday for two draft picks.

    Grossman is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent July 1.

    "Well, obviously when guys have contracts and they're nearing their end, you make decisions on going forward," Stars GM Joe Nieuwendyk said. "I think as an organization we felt that we have some depth at that position now which we hadn't had in previous years and made the decision to make the deal that we did in order to give not only Mark Fistric more of an opportunity, but to get Adam Pardy going, and we have some kids that are knocking on the door, as well."
