Any Interest In Marty Turco?

from Mike Heika of the Dallas Stars Blog at the Dallas Morning News,
Marty Turco did not reach the triggers for his no-trade clause this season, so he can be traded.
Also, while his cap hit is $5.7 million, his actual contract cost is only $5.4 million, so that does make the deal a little better.
Bottom line, I think if the Stars wanted to move him, there would be probably be interest (Philadelphia, for example, has no goalie signed). However, the Flyers have $50 million committed to next season already, and that will be the problem with a lot of teams.
We’ll see. My guess is the team is committed to Turco for next season and is hoping that he will have a great year as he faces unrestricted free agency.

More importantly, if the Stars trade Turco who are they then going to put in net?
I don’t see it happening unless say the Thrashers and Stars could work out a Turco-for-Lehtonen deal or something wacky like that. No doubt that Turco’s game is not at all well though….

I don’t think it makes much sense for the Stars to deal Turco right now. I don’t think he had a good season this year at all and the trade value probably won’t be there.
