The St. Louis Blues made a mildly surprising move by placing veteran forward Mathieu Joseph on waivers last Thursday.
Unsurprisingly, the veteran pugilist cleared, allowing him to report to the AHL. The move, however, wasn’t necessarily intended to dump Joseph. The move corresponded to the Blues’ efforts to retool.
And Joseph was kind of getting in the way.
As insider David Pagnotta noted, the Blues had been trying to trade Joseph. But the club just hasn’t found a suitor interested in the 29-year-old.
Joseph cleared today and has now been assigned to the AHL.
