The St. Louis Blues didn’t make a move at this year’s trade deadline. However, St. Louis should trade defenseman Zach Sanford this off-season.
Sanford was originally drafted 61st overall by the Washington Capitals in the 2013 NHL Draft. He signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Capitals. After making an impact in the Capitals’ training camp and preseason, Sanford made the Capitals’ opening night roster to open the 2016-17 season. He had one shot on goal in his NHL debut. He added two goals and one assist in 26 games before being traded to the Blues as part of a package for defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk.
