The Winnipeg Jets have acquired veteran center Paul Stastny from the St. Louis Blues in a rare deal between divisional rivals, the teams announced Monday. St. Louis, which is retaining half of Stastny’s $7 million cap hit, receives prospect Erik Foley, a conditional 2018 first-round pick, and a conditional 2020 fourth-round pick in the trade.
Stastny needed to waive his no-movement clause in order to finalize the deal, per Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman. It’s not often you see guys wanting to play in Winnipeg, but the opportunity at a Stanley Cup can be a strong selling point.
