"We still have to get the contract done, but I'm pretty confident we're going to get that done," Stars general manager Jim Nill said. "Ben is excited about coming to Dallas. He's got a history there (with the Texas Tornado of the North American Hockey League in 2004-05). It's a place that he enjoys, I think he likes our team and the potential of our team."

"But he believes in what we are trying to do here and we are thrilled that he is committing to the Hurricanes and to Raleigh."

"It's certainly nice to have that behind us," Blues general manager Doug Armstrong said.
