1st rounder 2012.
The Blues have lacked a true #2 center all year while McDonald has been injured and Berglund has been struggling to step up his game with the injuries. He may do good with a change of scenery and would also be able to shoulder some of the loss the Flames would undoubtedly receive up the middle with the departure of Jokinen. For the Blues adding a guy like Jokinen as well as Stempniak who had his best years in St. Louis, helps solidify their top 6 even with the departure of struggling forward Stewart and Center Berglund.
Could be a pretty good trade for both teams and it works dollar wise for both teams as well. We would be taking on the two struggling yet younger players for the two older players who are producing at a better clip but we lack youth where as St. Louis could use some experince going into what looks like a lengthy playoff run..... and we would get Rattie.

Why would they ever give up any of those guys for a 33 year old center and streaky 20 goal scorer? I could see St.louis maybe giving up Stewart, but more along the lines of Bartschi plus. However I would do Bartschi + for Schwartz.
