Its hard to find a bright spot on a team that is currently ranked 21st in goals scored. Alex Steen is the exception.
The St. Louis forward was not expected to be an offensive force when he was acquired from Toronto on November 24 with Carlo Colaiacovo for Lee Stempniak. Spanning over his two final seasons with the Maple Leafs, Steen played in 86 games and scored just 17 goals, including a minuscule two goals in his final twenty games. It was even reported that Toronto head coach Ron Wilson was the only member of the Maple Leafs management team to not even say goodbye to Steen the day of the trade. Steen came to St. Louis looking like another disappointing forward, since his 24th overall selection in 2002 built him up as the gun the Maple Leafs were looking for. He may have faltered with his former team, but he seemed to fit in with the Blues after just a few weeks.

Montreal landed a top prospect for their gritty winger.
Matt D'Agostini, the Canadiens' sixth round choice in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft, has just 14 goals and 11 assists in 94 NHL games played. The winger is more associated with his feisty style of play, striking fear into opponents when they enter the corners of their defensive zone. The winger does have an offensive upside though; with the Hamilton Bulldogs of the AHL, D'Agostini scored 128 points in 162 games played.
