@Hockey Junkie It is always mind blowing when a great player gets traded. My first full winter in America and Mike Liut was traded. Then many inexplicable trades. Most of my favourite players on the Blues were traded so that they could have a chance to win a Cup. I remember when Keith Tkachuk was traded in a rental situation to Atlanta literally for a playoff run. Then he re-signed in St. Louis in July!!! Halak was playing more than Elliot at times, Elliot would get a couple of games in a row. Being that Halak and Miller are in similar places in contracts, it could be that Miller and Halak are late season rentals. Since Halak and Elliot neither one were worth a spit versus the West Coast, it made sense to make a move in net. 15 years ago, there was a dearth of talented goalies, and the Blues seemed to be a goal tender away from a Cup. There are more talented net minders than in years past, for certain. This year, I am still uncertain that we have the right mix. Oshie needs to be traded for a game breaker, IMO.
