After parts of seven seasons in St. Louis, the Blues traded defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk to the Washington Capitals Monday, according to Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Per Pierre LeBrun of ESPN, the Blues will get Zach Sanford in return as well as a 2017 first-round pick and 2018 second-round pick.
Billy Jaffe of NESN reports he will likely be ready to play Tuesday night against the New York Rangers.
Neil Greenberg of the Washington Post provided his instant reaction to the trade:
Neil GreenbergGiving up Sanford is tough, but the 1st would be low this year and a 2nd has low chance of being NHLer.
