The end of the Stempniak era is over in St. Louis. Being dealt to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday, Stempniak will join his new team Tuesday night in Atlanta. What does this mean for both teams though?
The Blues brought in defenseman Carlo Colaiacovo and center Alex Steen from the deal, two players that have been under fire in a Leafs sweater this season. Steen, racking just four points in 20 games, is known as a two-way center that can also kill penalties. After being drafted in the first round (26th overall) in the 2002 NHL Entry draft, Alex has 126 points in 253 career NHL games. Not too shabby, but his former head coach Ron Wilson showed how upset he was when Steen was traded, being the only member of Leafs management to not say his goodbyes to the 24 year-old.
