No one bothered to call the cops on the St. Louis Blues when the deal was made on July 1, 2018, that sent Ryan O’Reilly to the Blues for three players and two picks, but now, it looks like everyone involved should be doing hard time.
The Blues acquired a player who had seemed to lose his passion for hockey, and after many seasons with a struggling Sabres team, it was hard to see how it was worth sending a significant package for one of the top centers available at the time.
Boy were Blues fans in for a treat!
