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.
