2013 Dallas Stars Season Review: Erik Cole
Defending Big D — When the Dallas Stars acquired Erik Cole from the Montreal Canadiens in February for then leading scorer Michael Ryder and a third round draft pick, there was many a head scratched. Cole seemed to have fallen out of favor in Montreal, while Ryder was carrying the Stars' offense on a nightly basis. The bigger picture was easy to see for those who wanted to actually look, however. Ryder, having re-proven his goal-scoring prowess on a value contract given to him by Dallas, would have commanded too much money on the free agent market. He likely would have left. For nothing. In Cole the Sta...

2013 Habs Half Season Review - Max Pacioretty
Habs Eyes On The Prize — [click for high resolution] Please refer to the introduction for explanations of all statistics used in this review. Last season Pacioretty was given a sheltered role with David Desharnais and Erik Cole, but he played tougher minutes than the other two players on that line, taking more defensive zone faceoffs and slightly tougher competition. This season though, he's been given a much easier role, and far less relied upon. His ice time has been cut by two and a half minutes per game at even strength, his offensive zone starts have jumped by an incredible 10 percent, and he's fa...
Montreal Canadiens March 25, 2013Ryder returns as rival
Boston Bruins Blog | ESPN Boston — BOSTON -- The last time Michael Ryder skated on TD Garden ice, it was Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals in June 2011. The crafty winger is back in Boston tonight and will face his former team as a newly acquired member of the Montreal Canadiens. On Tuesday, Ryder was traded from the Dallas Stars to the Canadiens in exchange for forward Erik Cole and a 2013 third-round draft pick. He’s played two games for the Habs since the trade and has not registered a point.

NHL Trade Rumors 2013: Are Dallas Stars Prepared To Trade Brenden Morrow?
Defending Big D — The Dallas Stars trade for veteran winger Erik Cole was certainly an interesting one, aside from the theory that the addition of Cole and subtraction of Michael Ryder could make the team better in the short and long term. The Cole trade was spoken about as a move for the future, however, an "insurance" trade to take steps to ensure the Stars have some sort of continuity at the forward position after this season. After all, there's always a chance that Derek Roy, Jaromir Jagr and Brenden Morrow aren't here next season, with Ryder also set to have been a free agent this summer. Stars...

Dallas Stars Swap Michael Ryder For Erik Cole To Find Stability
Defending Big D — The trade of Michael Ryder has caught Stars fans off guard. I certainly didn't figure that the Stars would trade Ryder who, at the time of the deal, was their leading scorer. Trading Ryder at this time opens the Stars to questions that are going to cause a seemingly needless distraction. For one, the Stars got older. A team looking to build around youth for the future just traded a 32 year old winger for a 34 year old. Ryder was set to be a free agent, and his departure would have made a natural opening in the top six for a player like Reilly Smith. The Stars will control Erik Cole f...

Erik Cole to Make Dallas Stars Debut With Cody Eakin, Reilly Smith
Defending Big D — The newest member of the Dallas Stars organization will make his home debut tonight, as Erik Cole will be on the ice with his new team at the American Airlines center against the Edmonton Oilers. With Ryder departing in the trade there was much speculation about where coach Glen Gulutzan would slot in his newest weapon, especially considering that the Stars haven't exactly been struggling in the goal-scoring department with the line combinations already in place. Cole is a right-handed shot who can play both wings, but has primarily played right wing during his time in the NHL and that...
