Stars trade former first-round pick to the St. Louis Blues
St. Louis Blues General Manager Doug Armstrong was busy adding to his forward group on Tuesday, making a pair of trades in the last hour.
First, he added forward Mathieu Joseph and a draft pick in a trade with the Ottawa Senators in exchange for future considerations. Now, he's bringing in a former first-round pick.
The St. Louis Blues have announced that they've acquired forward Radek Faksa from the Dallas Stars in exchange for future considerations.
