Blues Add Sobotka from Bruins for Warsofsky

The St. Louis Blues added some offensive depth on Saturday by acquiring center Vladimir Sobotka from the Boston Bruins in exchange for prospect defenseman David Warsofsky. Sobotka will be a restricted free agent on July 1. In 61 games last season with the Bruins, he had four goals and six assists for 10 points. Warsofsky appeared in 34 games last season with Boston University, scoring 12 goals and 11 assists for 23 points. Not a bad move for both teams, as both players should fit in nicely with their new clubs. Sobotka plays with lots of energy and toughness and also has some offensive upside, so he should be a good fit for the Blues on their fourth line next season. Warsofsky, who will remain in the NCAA next season, is still several years away from playing in the NHL, so he won't be in the Bruins' lineup any time soon, but he does give them a decent offensive prospect on the blueline.
