Carolina has traded Scott Walker to the Washington Capitals for a 7th round pick. FANTASY IMPACT - clearly Walker's impact is going to be more of a grinder, good guy in the room rather than an offensive dynamo. Don't expect alot unless he somehow draws top 6 forward duty to create room on the ice for more skilled players.
St. Louis has traded Yan Stastny to the Vancouver Canucks for a minor league PIMs specialist. FANTASY IMPACT - there isn't any unless Stastny plays and you count face-off wins. He's not offensively gifted. At this time, and depth guy.
Colorado has shipped Wojtek Wolski to the Coyotes for Peter Mueller and Kevin Porter. FANTASY IMPACT - Mueller and Wolski are both under-achieving but Wolski seems to have better upside as Mueller's desire to compete is reflected in his putrid offensive stats. Mueller was a scoring best in junior, but something has happened along the way for him to really developed into a fantasy bust. Trade him if you got him or let someone else take the "flyer". Wolski makes the 'Yotes better in terms of pure offense and if he buys into Tippett's counter-punch style of play, is worth a waiver scoop. Porter, a Hobey Baker Award winner, is actually pretty skilled and pretty tenacious and joins an Avs team that welcomes US College guys alot. Porter has at least 3rd line skills with upside.
