STARS SHIP FAKSA TO ST. LOUIS

The St. Louis Blues acquired forward Radek Faksa from the Dallas Stars for future considerations.

What does it give the St. Louis Blues
Faksa is a serviceable penalty killer and checking center who will probably play on the Blues' fourth line. Hey, he arrives for free so why not?

What does it give the Dallas Stars
The Stars like Faksa, but he lost his fourth-line center role to Sam Steel last season. Therefore, they needed to ship him out for cap reasons.
