The St. Louis Blues have received calls about the 27-year-old defenseman from the Edmonton Oilers and the Boston Bruins, ESPN's Pierre LeBrun told TSN 1040 on Monday.
Shattenkirk has led all Blues defensemen in goals every year since the 2012-13 campaign, and while his offensive numbers have been welcome, the rise of Colton Parayko coupled with Shattenkirk's impending unrestricted free agency next summer make him a viable trade chip.
Meanwhile the Oilers are in dire need of help on their back end, and the Bruins would certainly like to add a proven offensive right-hander to their defensive core.
