The St. Louis Blues are reportedly discussing a deal for Arizona Coyotes defenseman Zbynek Michalek, and are trying hard to land him, according to ESPN's Pierre LeBrun:
St. Louis Blues deep in talks with Arizona on Z. Michalek.... Still unresolved issues so not clear if it happens or not, but lots of talk...

The Coyotes blue-liner has been out with an upper-body injury since Feb. 14. He has eight points in 53 games.
The Blues are looking for depth because defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk is week-to-week after having abdominal surgery last month.
