The Dallas Stars Tuesday acquired 24-year-old forward Jaroslav Svoboda from the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for a fourth round draft pick in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft.
"Jaroslav is still a young hockey player and has already been through a long playoff run with Carolina in 2002," Stars GM Doug Armstrong said in a news release. "He brings our hockey club more size and we look forward to the energy he will add to the Dallas Stars in 2004-05."
Svoboda, who can play either right wing or left wing, is a restricted free agent and made $500,000 last season. He played 33 games for Carolina, picking up three goals, one assist and a plus-three rating. He has eight goals, 14 assists and a minus-two rating in 91 career NHL games, all with Carolina.
The 6-2, 190-pound Czech native was selected by Carolina in the seventh round (208th overall) of the 1998 NHL Entry Draft.
