Dreger: Could Blues trade for Vermette or Lupul?
/Darren Dreger was on NHL Network’s NHL Tonight on Monday evening.
On if he sees the St. Louis Blues making some additions to make themselves better:
“I think they’d like to add a depth forward. And who is that? Is it Antoine Vermette from the Arizona Coyotes? Is it potentially Joffrey Lupul from the Toronto Maple Leafs? They have some injury concerns, I know, with Lupul.
"The St. Louis Blues feel they’re close, but they’re still going in head-to-head battles with Nashville and Chicago within the division. Again, if there’s an opportunity for Doug Armstrong to add a piece that maybe makes them a little bit deeper on the front end, and a little bit heavier, then that’s what he’s looking for.”
