The St. Louis Blues are not in a good spot this early into the season. 17 games into the campaign, the Blues are 6-8-3 with just 15 points to their credit. The goaltending situation is an abject nightmare, while the team gives up substantially more goals than they score them. That's why they rank near the bottom of the Central Division, right alongsided the last place Nashville Predators.
Because of this slow start, the Blues general manager Doug Armstrong has begun to let teams know they are open for business. The first name to hit the trade block is Brayden Schenn, who this summer had his full trade clause get reduced to a 15-team no trade clause.
