2015 St. Louis Blues Trade Deadline

But the Blues, who have been reported for the last few weeks to be in contact with Tampa, are apparently not interested in adding a young, skilled offensive player to the lineup. Now watch Mr. Armstrong trade Rattie, Jaskin, and the Blues' first-round pick this year for some ham-and-egger with "puck grit" who will surely get them over the hump in the playoffs.

Armstrong said the #stlblues inability to fill top nine forward when someone was hurt was reason Jokinen was added.

I have to admit that I like this set-up."Steve Ott: Top Line Center" was about as realistic as "Bert Macklin: FBI." Sitting in the pressbox on a team going into the playoffs probably isn't the upgrade that Jokinen was hoping for when Nonis was working on a trade.

Leafs agree to trade Jokinen to Blues for a late pick that can improve based on Jokinen's performance.

Anyone have any clue what this is about? Where does Olli fit?

TSN's Trade Tracker just says "draft picks" right now, whatever that means.

A second and conditional fifth round pick to Edmonton bolsters the defense of the East's best team and takes away a possible stopgap for the Blues.

St. Louis Blues deep in talks with Arizona on Z. Michalek.... Still unresolved issues so not clear if it happens or not, but lots of talk...

The Coyotes are selling off just about everybody, and Michalek will likely be gone before the 2 p.m. deadline.
