It would allow Rittich to establish himself as a “Kipper” like starter who can play 65+ games.
Also, I think Maroon would be a great acquisition from the Blues as he adds size and grit and can play up and down the lineup.

Also Blues are not going away from a playoff spot and have been one of the hottest teams in the NHL in 2019.
They won’t be looking to off load players.
