The Dallas Stars have filled out their previously incomplete defensive rotation, acquiring noted shot-blocker Kris Russell from the Calgary Flames, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman was first to report.

Calgary will receive 24-year-old defenseman Jyrki Jokipakka, forward prospect Brett Pollock, and a conditional second-round draft selection for the pending unrestricted free agent.

Should Dallas make the conference final this spring - and Russell appears in at least 50 percent of the team's games - the 2016 draft pick will become a first-round selection, according to Friedman.

No salary was retained in the agreement, according to ESPN's Pierre LeBrun.

Russell's worth has been a contentious talking point throughout his free-agent season, but he'll be of value to Dallas. Likely destined for a second-pairing role, Russell will slot the back half of the rotation into their correct assignments.

Friedman notes that the Stars may still be in on defenseman Dan Hamhuis.
