The St. Louis Blues have never been a team that goes looking for trouble makers just because they have some talent. They leave that to the NFL.
However, they have not shied away from guys that have a little baggage in their name either. Sometimes it has worked in their favor to take a risk and sometimes they came up snake eyes.
In the case of Jesse Puljujarvi, the disgruntled forward whose rights currently reside in Edmonton, it’s not just the personal baggage that make a potential deal untenable. The current makeup of the Blues squad stands in the way as well.
