Woywitka, who was one of three defensemen acquired in the absolute robbery that was the Chris Pronger trade, seems to have peaked as a borderline NHLer. The fact that he was sent down in favor of rookie Jonas Junland confirms this.
The return of Lee Stempniak last night to the lineup made the forward situation in the STL a bit too crowded. Good news is that Yan Stastny will be staying with the big club for what looks to be a while.
Yan is definitely the lesser of the two Stastnys (Paul is an absolute star in the making), but dude looks to have all the tools and the heart to be a solid fourth liner for many years. The bad news is that the Blues had to send down another developing forward with a decent amount of potential in favor of a third enforcer.
Porter played on the same line as T.J. Oshie and Jonathan Toewes at UND, so yeah, I'd say he's got some ability. Thank God the Blues added a no talent puncher; I was worried how they'd replace the "void" left by the injured D.J. "Cowboy Dwayne" King.
