The NHL trade deadline is only a few days away. So, time is running out for the St. Louis Blues to find a new home for Shattenkirk.
While Blues fans were busy watching the team lose their third game in a row, and on national television of course, a couple of deals were struck by fellow contenders. Just because the Blues weren’t directly involved doesn’t mean the trades don’t impact No. 22’s price.
First, the Tampa Bay Lightning dealt former Blue and St. Louis native Ben Bishop to the Los Angeles Kings. The free agent-to-be was added by the Kings to provide depth for the recently healed Jonathan Quick.
