Sens trade Logan Brown, conditional pick to Blues for Zach Sanford

The Ottawa Senators have traded forward Logan Brown and a conditional fourth-round pick in next year's draft to the St. Louis Blues for forward Zach Sanford.

The Blues will receive the pick if Brown plays at least 30 regular-season games in the upcoming campaign.

Ottawa selected Brown with the 11th overall pick in 2016. The 23-year-old has collected one goal and eight assists in 30 NHL contests over the last four seasons. Last week, the Senators re-signed him to a two-way contract worth $750,000 at the highest level.

Sanford collected 10 goals and six assists across 52 games for St. Louis in 2021. The winger, who'll turn 27 in November, played the last four campaigns with the Blues after suiting up for one with the Washington Capitals. The latter club drafted him 61st overall in 2013.

The Blues shed Sanford's average annual value of $2 million with the deal and now have about $700,000 in cap space, according to CapFriendly.
