St. Louis Blues Off-Season Plans: Who to Re-Sign

There are many terms that could describe the Blues’ 2013 season. Unpredictable.  Exciting.  Depressing.  Uplifting.  Gut-wrenching.

The Blues made quite the splash Monday night in the trade market when they acquired defenseman Jay Bouwmeester from the Calgary Flames.
