Kevin Shattenkirk has left the building, and St. Louis Blues fans have already began climbing ledges across the city. Apparently, huge rocks have been flooding the 314 because the Blues faithful haven’t gotten it in their head that the Blues were going to find a trade partner before tomorrow’s deadline. After a reportedly “fierce” bidding war between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Washington Capitals, the T.J. Oshies won out and have acquired Shattenkirk, and it will be a rental.
The return for the Blues is 22 year old Zach Sanford, 27 year old AHL journeyman Brad Malone, a first round pick from Caps this year, and conditional picks in the coming years.
