MacLellan said he met with Backstrom and Ovechkin to get sense of how team felt. Ovi told him to go get someone. Backstrom told him not to.

For whatever its worth...its sure interesting....the Tweet is from the Caps Beat Writer.

It will be a tank fest to finish 4th in the Atlantic and mow down the Metropolitan Division.

Shattenkirk is not good defensively. Kind of was hoping St. Louis would keep him or Edmonton would get him.

[dammage79]

Blues called up Barbashev today too. perhaps theres another fw on the move as well?

Kevin Shattenkirk has been notified that he is going to Washington. Expected to be in the lineup tomorrow night at MSG vs. #NYR.

He is exactly the player Edmonton needs. A top 4 RH PPQB. They have Larson as their shut down right shot. Shatty would be there to put up points and make their power play more dangerous.

News Update

Pierre LeBrun @Real_ESPNLeBrun
now
Shattenkirk trade has other details but main parts I believe: 1st RD pick in 2017, 2nd RD pick in 2018 and Zach Ranford going to St. Louis

Pierre LeBrun @Real_ESPNLeBrun
@Real_ESPNLeBrun again, there are other smaller parts in this trade plus some conditions...

Frank Seravalli @frank_seravalli
#stlblues would also likely be eating half of Shattenkirk's salary to make money work if this is the gist of it.

Details on Zach Sanford:
http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=242077

2nd round pick of Caps in 2013

[TheScorpion]

...who the heck is Zach Ranford?

[Flash Walken]

Who is Zach Ranford?

[TheScorpion]

Does Lebrun maybe mean Zach Sanford? It would make sense.

Edit: yep

[dammage79]

[sureLoss]

Yes it is Zach Sanford. LeBrun made a typo

It is kind of a similar return that Hanzal + White got

Pierre LeBrun @Real_ESPNLeBrun
I believe there's a condition on the second-round pick involved in the trade

I stand by my comment. Don't think he's above average defensively and wouldn't help a team if what they're looking for is a good defensive d-man.

[Canada 02]

Blues needed something for today; Army could be gone by the time the first pick is made

Pierre LeBrun @Real_ESPNLeBrun
Blues also retained some salary on Shattenkirk in the trade but it's less than 50 percent. Not sure yet of exact percentage.
