In the normal scope of professional sports, the team usually makes whatever decision regarding personnel they feel is best and the player has to deal with it. The St. Louis Blues might be wise to take a different tact regarding one Brayden Schenn.
For those that are not aware, the NHL trade deadline is fast approaching. In fact, the deadline is less than a month away with it falling on Monday, February 25.
The Blues have an unlucky number of games between now and then, with 13 following the All-Star break. However, that is ample time to get a handle on if there is a real turnaround with this team and also ample time to have a sit down with Schenn.
