The Impact of Friendship in the Blues-Flyers Trade Talks
Trade talks between the Philadelphia Flyers and St. Louis Blues involving Kevin Hayes and Travis Sanheim were in limbo due to the Blues' plan to send defenseman Torey Krug to the Flyers, who had a no-trade clause. Hayes, a longtime friend of Krug, reached out to him for information but respected Krug's decision to block the trade. Eventually, the trade was revised, with the Blues acquiring Hayes for a sixth-round draft pick. Hayes is excited to join the Blues and hopes Krug will be his teammate.
