Kevin Shattenkirk has been one of the most prominent defenseman in the NHL over the past few seasons. His numbers jump off the paper and he is a joy to watch play.
Shattenkirk spent most of his career with the St. Louis Blues. He started his career in 2010 in Colorado, but finished the year in St. Louis. Shattenkirk was traded to the Washington Capitals at this year’s trade deadline.
Now it’s time for Shattenkirk to find a new home. His desired salary of roughly $6.5-$7 million over five to six years takes a lot of teams out of contention.
