After the All-Star break and a bye week, Blues GM Doug Armstrong makes a deal with the Rangers.

In the trade, Vladimir Tarasenko and Niko Mikkola head to New York and in return, the Blues pick up a conditional first round pick in 2023, a fourth round pick in 2024, forward Sammy Blais and defenseman Hunter Skinner.

Vladi requested a trade two seasons ago according to Armstrong and had a list of teams he’s go to.
