ahhh, so how has Stastny looked when healthy? I see he has some decent point production.

I feel he's been exactly the kind of play-maker we needed. Many have been adamant that the Blues need goal-scorers, but the Blues finished 5th in Goals For last season, only something like 17 goals out of 1st. The Blues don't necessarily need more goals, they need more timely goals. We've got guys like Schwartz, Tarasenko, and Steen who can put the puck in the net; each of them needs guys to dish them the puck. I think Stastny (and Lehtera) has filled a major gap in that equation.
In the few games we've seen Stastny play, he's shown tenacity, speed, and great hockey IQ; but I think it will take some time for him to find those couple players that he really has chemistry with. When he plays, and everyone else is healthy, he was often on the ice with Steen and Lindstrom.
