Logan Brown is Coming Home

Logan Brown on trade: "I definitely didn't see it coming, but absolutely I'm pumped. I grew up in St. Louis. I've played for the junior Blues my whole life. Honestly, it's surreal. To be able to get an opportunity to play in my hometown in the NHL is what every kid dreams of."

The Blues trade Zach Sanford to Ottawa for Logan Brown and conditional draft pick. This is excellent news for St. Louis and makes another father/son connection. Logan Brown is son of former defenseman Jeff Brown.

Logan Brown will be the 6th player to be part of father/son combo to play for the St Louis Blues.

Sanford had just agreed to a one-year $2 million contract. This frees up some extra cap space and could lead to James Neal and/or Michael Frolík getting signed. On top of all this Robert Thomas signs a two-year deal worth $2.8 million.

THE WAIT IS OVER!

Robert Thomas has agreed to terms on a two-year contract with the #stlblues.

Oh yeah and before I forget Peter Chiarelli and Ken Hitchcock were hired in the Blues front office. Things are looking good for Blues fans, right?
