Blues Could Be Trade Deadline Sellers

With the St. Louis Blues 2-7-1 in their past 10 games and now sitting five points behind the Arizona Coyotes for the final playoff spot in the West Division, there has been increasing chatter that the team might sell off some players in advance of Monday’s trade deadline.

Jeremy Rutherford of the Athletic takes a look at some players who could be on the move for the Blues.

Rutherford suggests that pending UFAs Mike Hoffman and Tyler Bozak should have their bags packed.

He notes the situation is a little more complicated for fellow pending UFA and career Blue Jaden Schwartz, who can block a trade to 15 teams. Rutherford says contract talks have been slow with Schwartz.

Rutherford also makes note of unhappy defenseman Vince Dunn, who could be moved before the deadline, but could more likely be a summer move.
