The St. Louis Blues are in a precarious position right now. They are sliding out of the playoff picture and clearly need additional help. However, they are also clearly not a championship contender this season, so how much do you want to give up to risk your future?
The one main question we have to ask ourselves is whether the Blues standing pat at the deadline would really be such a terrible thing. Yes, it would be incredibly frustrating, but not doing anything might send as loud a message as anything.
There are so many variables going around such as how we rate the prospects and what immediate impact any deals could have.
