Why would ARI want Jay-Bo

Why would the Blues want to trade Jay-Bo is the better question...

That's the obvious question, but I'm more curious as why the OP picked the destination he did. I find most people don't take other teams needs or plan into consideration when doing these things.

Pretty simple answers really: ARI takes JBo to mentor young up and coming team and replaces Stone on the back end. St.Louis gets faster and younger and can replace JBo with a much more cost efficient option that does the same thing as he did.

Because Bouwmeester is overpaid and isn't good enough on a consistent basis to warrant a top line spot. However, Arizona doesn't make this trade, nor does Bouwmeester waive his NTC for Arizona. Dallas on the other hand, maybe a reuniting with Hitch will change his mind
