The Blues have made their move to shore up the defense, and it was not what anyone probably expected.
The Blues have acquired 31 year old defenseman Nick Leddy from the Detroit Red Wings, along with defenseman Luke Witkowski, for Jake Walman, Oskar Sundqvist, and a second round pick in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft.
Oskar Sundqvist, who has been struggling since returning from injury, has been spending time on the fourth line. Detroit should be happy with the fact that Sunqvist will be able to slot in further up the lineup - and their last trade with the Blues was for Robby Fabbri.
