STASTNY TO ST. LOUIS

The St. Louis Blues acquired forward Yan Stastny from the Boston Bruins for a fifth-round draft pick in 2007.

What does it give the St. Louis Blues
The Blues will likely give Stastny more playing time than what he received in Beantown. He's a solid two-way forward that could turn into a quality third liner. Adding a forward should lead to speculation about potential deals involving veterans Bill Guerin, Martin Rucinsky et al.

What does it give the Boston Bruins
The Bruins didn't have a lot of room for Stastny, and had better players waiting in the wings down on the farm. Therefore, they did well to add a mid-round draft pick in return for Stastny.
