The St. Louis Blues have always done what they felt was right for their team, especially in recent years. Two seasons ago, the team was floundering, so they traded away Paul Stastny. In the spring of 2019, the team stood pat since they felt they had something special going. Clearly they did.
However, this year’s trade deadline is a bit different. If the Blues had things in a vacuum, they likely would want to add another scorer even with the team sitting on top of the Western Conference.
It is a seller’s market, though, right now.
