The St. Louis Blues lost Magnus Paajarvi today. The Ottawa Senators seemed determined to claim some sort of victory against the Blues, so they stole a player.
The Senators lost their last two games against St. Louis. The combined scores were 7-1. So, perhaps this was Ottawa’s measure of revenge.
Of course, that’s a silly idea, but you have to make sense of it somehow. The reality is that the Senators did claim Paajarvi off waivers, so he will now be a member of their organization. Whether he plays in Ottawa or is sent to their AHL team is up in the air.
