St. Louis Blues place 800-game NHL veteran on the trade block
Per NHL insider Frank Seravalli, the St. Louis Blues are eyeing a trade of veteran Brandon Saad, who has played 863 games in the league.
Spending most of his career with the Chicago Blackhawks and the Columbus Blue Jackets, Brandon Saad will always be remembered for being traded for superstar Artemi Panarin.
Now, after three seasons in St. Louis, it appears his time is up, and the team is looking to trade him.
"There are rumblings that Saad is available as GM Doug Armstrong checks market prices as part of his due diligence in a quest to make the Blues better. It's a bit surprising considering Saad is coming off the second-best goal scoring season of his career, netting 26 last year to finish tied for fourth on the team with Robert Thomas." Seravalli said.
He added, "However, if you think about it from Armstrong's perspective, this might be the exact time to cash in on Saad with strong value on the market considering the two years remaining on his deal. It's also the same old, same old in St. Louis: Saad has a full 'no-trade' clause for one more year, and he also happens to have the same agent as Krug, who blocked a trade last summer with that very clause."
