Yan Stastny On Waivers

We don't have a link yet, but the P-D's Jeremy Rutherford has confirmed that the Blues have placed forward yan Stastny on waivers today. Stastny, who had just finished his conditioning stint in Peoria and had been re-called to St. Louis, will likely return to Peoria if he clears.

On first impact, I thought this was a questionable move by the Blues. In my mind, Stastny seems like a well-liked teammate and a hard worker on the ice. In my recollection of his season, he had always done the little dirty things out there to make himself useful and chipped in offensively from time to time.

In actuality, Stastny is quite expendable. In 34 games he has three goals, four assists and was a glaring minus-14. On a team that has no shortage of energy line players, Stastny is probably the player who is most likely to slip through waivers unclaimed and be able to help out the Rivermen with their playoff run.

I don't think that this necessarily spells the end of Stastny's career in St. Louis, but if it does, we expect the flags at Chaminade to be at half-staff for the rest of the week.

Isn’t waivers how he got here in the first place? I wonder if the Blues had hoped the league would mistakenly award them Paul Stastny.

no, we traded a 5th round pick to Boston for him.
when I first read the title, I thought, “well duh, they just called him up”.
but from the rest of the article, it seems he was called up with the sole intention of being put on waivers. I thought we’d be doing that for Manny, not Stastny

Since it was a conditioning stint originally, I figured they had to call him up at the end of the stint — but didn’t have roster room without putting someone on waivers. You know, the whole, “We’ll quote ‘condition stint’ you and maybe if someone else gets hurt in the meantime, we won’t have to waive you” kind of deal.

Stastny always seemed like a real solid dude.

In reference to the flags at Chaminade, I would assume they are rainbow flags. ZING!!!

color me bummed ...

I had hoped that he’d get healthy and then get put on a line with Steen and Crombeen. All three sons of NHLers on the same line. That’d be cool.

ah well. we’ll see what develops.
