We kick off this blog with big news of a trade between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the St. Louis Blues.
According to TSN - The Maple Leafs have acquired Forward Lee Stempniak (13pts, 14 GP) for former 1st round pick forward Alexander Steen (4pts, 20 GP) and another former 1st round pick defenceman Carlo Colaiacovo (1p, 10 GP).
Instant Analysis - This move comes as a bit of a surprise as Stempniak has had a rather good season with 12 pts in his last 8 games. He ranks 5th in team scoring. What makes this even more surprising is that the Blues have just lost leading scorer Andy McDonald to a long term injury. They recieve 2 former first rounders that have struggled this season. Poolies keep an eye on Stempniak he may turn out to be a good pickup for the Leafs.
