D'AGOSTINI FOR PALUSHAJ

The St. Louis Blues acquired winger Matt D'Agostini from the Montreal Canadiens for winger Aaron Palushaj.

What does it give the St. Louis Blues
The Blues take a flyer on D'Agostini, who has skill but seemed lost under coach Jacques Martin in Montreal. He may get a new lease on life with the Blues, who may be moving out a veteran forward on deadline day.

What does it give the Montreal Canadiens
The Habs love American college products, and they value speed. Palushaj fits the mold to the letter. He's also on the smallish side, which is another Montreal trait up front. Palushaj will likely remain in the AHL.
