Major Turnaround: 25-Goal Scorer Likely to be Traded in the Coming Days

In a major turnaround from previous reports, this 25-goal scorer is now likely to be traded in the coming days, according to new reports.

The St. Louis Blues were reportedly going to place Jakub Vrana on waivers but then decided not to at the last minute. According to Jeremy Rutherford of the Athletic, this could be because the Blues are re-engaging in trade talks.

Vrana is undoubtedly struggling this season. With just 2 goals and 4 assists in 19 games this year, he is not up to his usual form. Because of this, the Blues are likely looking to try and dump what is left of his salary to make other moves at the deadline.

A trade for Vrana will be interesting to see what the Blues could get in return for him. They traded a late pick and a minor leaguer for him earlier this season, in hopes that a new setting would spark him back to his old ways.

The change in scenery doesn't seem to have done the trick, and now offloading him could be difficult. We will see what the Blues decide to do with him as he sits in limbo with the club.

UPDATE:

Vrana was placed on waivers today.
