T.J. Oshie opens up about potential bizarre reason that led to Blues trade

The St. Louis Blues are no strangers to scouting and bringing in top talent. The Blues drafted forward T.J. Oshie in the first round back in 2005, where he made his debut in 2008 and became an instant star for the team. But after seven years with the team, the Blues shockingly traded him to the Washington Capitals, where in three short years with his new squad, won the Stanley Cup.

Blues fans and hockey fanatics in general were confused as to why the Blues would trade away Oshie.

Oshie, now retired, recently appeared on Barstool Sports' Spittin' Chiclets podcast, and they discussed the trade to the Capitals.
