On this day, nine years ago, the Boston Bruins traded Tyler Seguin to the Dallas Stars.
The two clubs agreed to a seven-player trade sending 21-year-old Seguin, Rich Peverley and defenseman Ryan Button to the Stars for forward Loui Eriksson and three prospects (Joseph Morrow, Reilly Smith and Matt Fraser).
