Blues seek trade for veteran winger Brandon Saad after recent struggles

The St. Louis Blues have traded for Cam Fowler from the Anaheim Ducks and are now looking to trade veteran winger Brandon Saad. Saad was a healthy scratch in a recent game, indicating the team's desire to move on. Saad, who has a $4.5 million salary and a no-trade clause, has struggled this season with only four goals in 27 games. His performance has raised concerns about his trade value, as many teams lack the cap space to acquire him. Despite a strong previous season, Saad's current scoring pace is the lowest since 2012-13. This decline is a key factor in the Blues' challenges to trade him during the regular season.
