Lawton: St. Louis asked for trade to Rangers in 2009

Former Tampa Bay Lightning GM Brian Lawton dropped this little bit of knowledge on Hockey Central at Noon Friday about Martin St. Louis:

“I can tell you when I was in Tampa there was time in 2009 right before the trade deadline when (St. Louis) was waiting in my office for me,” Lawton said. “He told me he was not happy with the way things were going and would like to be traded to one team – the New York Rangers.”
