Dallas Acquires:

Chris Tanev (25% salary)
Cole Brady (G prospect)

New Jersey Acquires:

Dallas 2026 Fourth Round Pick
25% of Chris Tanev's Salary

Calgary Acquires:

Artem Grushnikov (2nd Round Pick, 2021, D)
Dallas 2024 Second Round Pick
Dallas 2026 Third Round Pick (Conditional)

The exact order of transactions went as follows:

Trade #1 – The New Jersey Devils trade unsigned draft choice goaltender Cole Brady to the Calgary Flames in exchange for defenseman Chris Tanev. Furthermore, the Calgary Flames have agreed to retain 50% of all future obligations to Tanev’s contract for the 2023-24 season.

Trade #2 – The New Jersey Devils trade defenseman Chris Tanev to the Dallas Stars in exchange for Dallas’ own 4th round selection in 2026. Furthermore, the New Jersey Devils have agreed to retain 50% of all future obligations to Tanev’s contract for the 2023-24 season.

Trade #3 – The Calgary Flames trade unsigned draft choice goaltender Cole Brady to the Dallas Stars in exchange for defenseman Artem Grushnikov, Dallas’ own 2nd round selection in 2024 and a conditional 3rd round selection in 2026 (Dallas’ own) if Dallas advances to the Stanley Cup Final in the 2024 playoffs (wins three rounds). If Dallas does not win three rounds in the 2024 playoffs, then no additional pick is transferred from Dallas to Calgary.

In short, this is a steal for Dallas. They gave up a defensive-minded defense prospect and a second and fourth round pick to get Tanev at a quarter of his salary. They might have to cough up one more pick if they make it to the finals, and that's fine, but what a pickup for the Stars!
