From that point, he went on to have an amazing career in Colorado, Winnipeg, St. Louis, Vegas and Carolina, and after not joining a team for the 2023-24 season, we now know why.
Throughout his career, the veteran forward skated in 1,145 games, tallying 293 goals and 822 points, and while he never reached the mountain top with a Stanley Cup, he'll go down as one of the most respected players of this generation.
Many around Stastny believe he'll end up with some type of job in hockey post-retirement, with coaching or a front office role a possibility, but now, we congratulate Stastny on an incredible career, and wish him well with whatever the future holds.
