We’ve all heard the rumors and speculation about Kevin Shattenkirk - that the Blues want a sign-and-trade deal to ensure a maximum return for their defenseman has been a common one.

The first deal, which would’ve brought Taylor Hall to St. Louis, was nixed by Shattenkirk’s team. The second deal, which could’ve brought Jonathan Drouin to the Blues from the Tampa Bay Lightning, was recently nixed about six weeks ago.
