Yan Stastny

#25 / Center / St. Louis Blues

Height: 5-10

Weight: 191

Born: Sep 30, 1982

Gillis finally makes a move, trading Pierre-Cedric Labrie (from HF: Labrie’s limited skating will prevent him from ever being more than a role player at any level) to St. Louis for Yan Stastny.


Pros:

• An "honest worker" with his limited ice time
  
• Cheap ($500,000)
• Can play center or wing
• Comes from a notable hockey family that includes father Peter, uncle Anton or brother Paul

Cons:

• He's a combined -20 for his career
• He's only played in four games this year and his career best is only 34 (last year).
  
• He's a reserve forward at best

Not the splash we wanted for the third line, but we'll take it in case the forward ranks suffer any more injuries.
