‘The Blues have series salary cap issues and may want to move Shattenkirk out before he hits the final year of his contract. As for as “power play quarterbacks” there is nobody better in the entire NHL. He is a brilliant puck distributor who consistently puts up 40-plus points. At even strength, Shattenkirk is a puck possession driver, pushing the puck up the ice with quality D-zone exit passes. He is occasionally over aggressive and not a perfect defender, but the positives far outweigh the negatives. Shattenkirk would have to come along with a long-term contract extension and would have a fairly high price on the trade market.’
