One of the best and also worst parts of free agency season is the speculation. Wading through rumors on social media while waiting for real news is addictive for some, frustrating for others. People treat free agency like they’re writing a wish list for Santa Claus, tossing out trade ideas that would get turned down in NHL 21.
Bad trade ideas - or at best, unfeasible trade ideas - abound. Personally, I don’t often speculate because let’s admit it: I have no idea what is happening in the Blues’ front office, let alone front offices around the league.
