Trade talk has been one of the dominant themes in St. Louis over the past several weeks, as it seems the other shoe is dropping as a result of the team's recent playoff failures.
The Blues are bringing head coach Ken Hitchcock back for another season behind the bench, but the team may not look the same in 2015-16 as a result of trades. On Thursday, the Blues traded high-profile winger T.J. Oshie to the Washington Capitals for Troy Brouwer, minor league goalie Phoenix Copley and a 2016 draft pick. Meanwhile, defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk continues to draw attention on the trade front.
