The Anaheim Ducks were being cheered on by the Dallas Stars on Wednesday night.
With Anaheim's win in Game 7 over the Edmonton Oilers and the Ducks now off to the Western Conference Final, the Stars now own the Ducks' first-round pick in this year's draft after trading Patrick Eaves out west at the deadline.
The trade was for a 2017 second-round pick with the following condition:
If Anaheim advances to the Western Conference Final, and Eaves plays in at least half of their games in the first two rounds of the playoffs, the Stars get the Ducks' first-round pick in the 2017 draft.
Eaves played in only three games against the Oilers before being hurt, but suited up in seven of the Ducks' 11 games, hence the condition being activated.
With 11 goals in 20 regular-season games and another two in the postseason, the price is one the Ducks will surely have no issue paying.
