TSN: Mike Hoffman hasn’t worked out well as well as hoped in St. Louis and the pending UFA could be on the move according to Pierre LeBrun despite the Blues not being out of the playoff race.
“The St. Louis Blues are not out of contention but we know from GM Doug Armstrong’s history, that he’s not worried about trading pending UFAs when his team underachieves. He traded Kevin Shattenkirk at the deadline in 2017 despite being in a playoff spot. He traded Paul Stastny to Winnipeg in 2018 despite being a point out, and word is, from talking to different teams around the league, that he’s open to potentially moving some pending UFAs.
