Blues general manager Doug Armstrong didn't make any moves at the NHL trade deadline, and that was the right call.

The St. Louis Blues were one of the teams that was projected to be a seller at this year’s trade deadline, but they ended up making no moves. Instead, the Blues stuck with the status quo and will move forward in their far-fetched playoff push.

Blues general manager Doug Armstrong said the team was looking to do “hockey trades,” which aren’t deals for pending unrestricted free agents or aren’t a part of a salary-cap dump or a draft-pick swap.
