Dallas will take on the rest of Bunting's $4.5 million salary, and he's set to become an unrestricted free agent after this season. The pick originally belonged to Seattle, which Dallas got in another deal. Bunting, a 30-year-old winger, had 13 goals and 18 assists in 61 games for Nashville this year.
What trade did the Nashville Predators make with the Dallas Stars?
They picked him up last season at the trade deadline, but now with playoff hopes dim, they're shifting gears. General Manager Barry Trotz retired in early February and has started selling off contracts to rebuild. This move fits that plan, showing a focus on the future over quick wins. Nashville also dealt Michael McCarron, Cole Smith, and Nick Blankenberg this week. They now hold 12 picks in the 2026 draft. A quick thank you to our sponsor of today's episode.
