I don't think such a node exists. From toponomastic evidence, it looks
like Dacian and Thracian were quite different languages, the former
being the ancestor of Albanian and a relative of Indo-Iranian. On the
other hand, Thracian appears to have a 3 series-stop system (voiceless
aspirated/voiceless/voiced) similar to the ones of Germanic and
Armenian, which I regard as more archaic and not "shifted" as in the
traditional view.
