Can we draw anything from the DN signing?

[TreyWilly]

I'm wondering if Poker Stars' recent acquisition of Daniel Negreanu on Monday (sounds like a sports transaction) suggests anything about the current legal environment.

This question operates on a number of assumptions, so forgive me:

1. Stars made a significant financial commitment to obtain DN's poker site and its players.

2. Stars is paying DN a great deal of money.

3. Stars' campaign is designed to counteract the pro-driven advertising of Full Tilt, which markets heavily in the United States.

4. This campaign is geared toward bringing in new players to Stars from the United States.

5. The impact in Canada is an intentional but secondary objective.

6. Stars would not make this play unless it was sure DN's presence would make a profitable difference despite recent legislation.

Can we draw anything from this, or am I overreaching?
