The Stars have traded Jaromir Jagr and Derek Roy, a day ahead of the NHL trade deadline.
Jagr was picked up by the Boston Bruins in an attempt to improve their shaky offense.
The 10th leading goal scorer in NHL history, who leads the Stars in points this season, Jagr was traded Tuesday for two prospects, forwards Lane MacDermid and Cody Payne, and a conditional second-round pick in this year's draft, the Stars announced.
The deal came five days after the Bruins thought they obtained forward Jarome Iginla from the Calgary Flames, only to learn Iginla had been traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins.
In his first season with the Stars, the 41-year-old Jagr has 14 goals and 26 points. Brad Marchand leads the Bruins with 14 goals and Patrice Bergeron is first with 31 points. Jagr has 679 career goals.
The Stars also acquired Kevin Connauton and a 2nd-round pick in the 2013 NHL Draft from the Vancouver Canucks for center Derek Roy.
