The value of a trade in professional sports is often something that cannot be properly judged until all parties involved wrap up their careers, even though we all do it the minute the first report comes out. The St. Louis Blues have had plenty that seemed alright at the time and ended up as stinkers and vice versa. However, some just do not work out at all.
For context, we will start off with the highlights. The Blues acquiring Jaroslav Halak from the Montreal Canadiens for Lars Eller and Ian Schultz.
Eller has turned into an OK NHL player with 116 goals and 255 points in 10 years.
