Blues Smart to Stay Quiet In Free Agency

It was no secret that the St. Louis Blues would be adding a scorer or two this offseason. General manager Doug Armstrong kicked off the NHL Entry Draft in a big way by completing two massive trades that addressed those very needs. First, he traded for power-play specialist Brayden Schenn from the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for the underachieving Jori Lehtera.

The Blues made sure everyone knew how serious they were about bolstering their roster with more goal scorers by trading away the league's best enforcer in Ryan Reaves in exchange for prospect Oscar Sundqvist and the 31st pick, which they turned into promising Russian forward Klim Kostin.
