Vancouver Acquires Yan Stastny


Yan Stastny

#25 / Center / St. Louis Blues

5-10

191

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.

I wouldn’t mind Gillis picking up prospects and draft picks for cheap at the deadline. No sense in mortgaging your future for 3rd line scoring and depth defensemen. If a third line center option presents itself then go for it but maybe collecting these prospects would be better for the future.

So we traded a guy nobody even knew was in the system for a guy who’s played 38 games in two years and is a minus 20? Uhhh…good trade Gillis?

Sometimes I wonder if they sit in the war room and Gillis leads off the day with" Ok folks…how can we best put the fans in a total tizzy and make our opponents think we’re incompetent before we do anything cool?" Some jr scout shouts out “A useless brother of a real player!” and everyone cheers.

Sounds about right.

When I got the text from TSN, I was like “who?”

Yan Stastny = Final Piece of the Puzzle?

For an AHL championship, maybe.

Murph just speculated on sportsnet that Stastny was brought in to give shirokov a good centerman on the Moose.

We will just have to pray that Mitchell returns for the playoffs. Or else we are screwed.
With the defense we have right now, I would be shocked if we get past the second round.

I never thought I’d be happy that Bieksa is back but after watching Baumer last night…

Oh, I almost forgot about Kevin. He will be a godsent, right now.

Eklund is trying to pump that tired old tire of Hodgson to Van for Kaberle…forgetting that Kabby has NO DESIRE to play in the West…where it will become obvious that he isn’t as good as they seem to think in T.O.

I disagree. Kaberle is awesome. He does pinch in too much though..
