While things have been going fairly well in St Louis, GM CaptainCrunch announce a major deal today sending Hall, Reinhart and prospect defenseman Jakob Zboril to the Predators in exchange for C Paul Stastny and elite winger Artemi Panarin. Hall had played very few games for the Blues, suffering a major injury on his first game back and not finding chemistry in the games since his return.


"When you have the chance to add a legitimate game changer to your line up you simply do it and Panarin is a game changer. I hated giving up Sam, but Paul should do a good job on the third line." Stated GM Crunch. "As far as Zboril, he's a good young defenseman but we have other blueliners in the minors in Coghlan and Mackay who are getting close to making the jump."


As well, the Blue's save a little bit of cap space which is a weapon come the trade deadline.



After today the Blue's new line up looks like this


Panarin (78) Couture (75) Duclair (73)
Jankrok (71) Stephenson (72) Pulijarvi (69)
Stastny (71) Krejci (71) Nosek (68)
Archibald (68) Appleton (68) Ryan (67)

Fowler (71) Suter (71)
Jensen (70) Matheson (70)
Fabbro (68) Brodie (70)
