Dallas Stars' Trade Offer Revealed for Blue Jackets' Zach Werenski

The Dallas Stars tried to land Norris trophy winner Zach Werenski from the Columbus Blue Jackets. There's been multiple reports surfacing the two sides did discuss a deal but Blue Jackets GM Don Waddel wasn't happy with what the Stars were offering.

Waddell declined, Bourque got moved to the Predators, and now the Werenski trade talks are dead in the water.

For now, the two sides agreed that Werenski will focus his efforts on winning in Columbus, and trade talks aren't expected to pick back up until the spring, if the Blue Jackets are out of the playoff race. The Stars weren't the only team to make a significant offer for Werenski, as the Toronto Maple Leafs reportedly offered forward Matthew Knies in a package with draft picks and prospects. Werenski stays in Columbus...for now.
