Eh, you got zero decent prospects.

I'm not sure if that changes the calculus substantially, but I'd be shocked if either of the guys we gave up amount to anything at the NHL level.

But getting a 1st in a very deep 2013 draft is a pretty nice haul in its own right. I'm thinking the Blues desperately need the cash infusion that comes from playoff hockey and are willing to give up the pick to make it happen.
