The have acquired center from the for a a first-round pick in the 2018 draft, a conditional fourth-rounder in the 2020 draft and prospect Erik Foley.The move is a bit of a head- Chris Beck Jersey scratcher for the Blues, who are only a point behind the in the Western Conference wild-card race, despite losing six straight. It really comes down to getting something instead Miles Mikolas Jersey of nothing, and Stastny is an unrestricted free agent after this season, so it appears that St. Louis simply felt it was time to cut ties with the 32-year-old alternate captain.Stastny's cap hit was $7 million this season, which the Blues retain 50 percent of. Stastny waived a no-trade clause to approve the deal as well.The Jets get a player with 40 points so far this season, which is tied for fifth on Winnipeg's roster. Twelve Jedd Gyorko Jersey of Stastny's points are goals. The Jets currently trail only the and the in the West, and Stastny puts them in position to make a deeper run.

While losing Stastny doesn't mean they're Albert Pujols Jersey bowing out of the playoff race, it certainly shows where their priorites lie. is still an excellent center, but losing depth at the position does impact the Blues' chances of catching the Flames. Perhaps they think they have enough firepower without Stastny to move ahead without him (and his contract).
