Ken Hitchcock's return sets up San Jose East scenario

One more year of Steve Ott being moved up two lines higher than he should ever play! I need a drink.

I think we can all agree that while the Blues have been pretty good in the last few years, something has been missing. Everyone has their speculations as to what, exactly, it is that's been missing.

The Blues added enough defensive depth at one trade deadline to make the team a formidable force on the blue line, one envied by many teams. That was done at the 2013 trade deadline. That didn't work.

We've seen trades to make the team "five percent better" with an eye on goaltending.
