St. Louis And Washington Swap Players Rights
St. Louis acquired the rights to forward Alexander Semin today from the Washington Capitals in exchange for the rights to defensemen Barret Jackman.
Jackman has served St. Louis well in his tenure with the Blues but we feel it is time to move on and start a new era in St. Louis. We think that Semin could be a very good fit here in St. Louis and are excited to add a player with the star power Semin has.
