$6.5 M Veteran Blues defenseman to be traded in July?

  The NHL trade deadline has come and gone. All excitement surrounding the annual event was muted by the league's newly minted rules .  One big name slated to be traded by general manager Doug Armstrong of the St. Louis Blues was defenseman Colton Parayko. Locked in for four more years, with a $6.5 million average annual value (AAV) cap hit, he had a ticket to Buffalo, but exercised his ability to waive the trade.  After much dismay surrounding his decision, he decided to stick ...

Four positives from Oilers’ four-game road trip: Frederic is finding a new gear, the Nurse-Murphy pairing has potential, and more

The Edmonton Oilers went 2-1-1 on their recent four-game road trip, which isn’t bad, but giving up a two-goal lead last game against the St. Louis Blues and losing in overtime certainly stung, letting a valuable point slip away. Nevertheless, there were several positives to take from the trip, including beating a dangerous Colorado Avalanche…

Blues 3, Hurricanes 1

After playing a dominating first period, the Carolina Hurricanes let their “foot off the gas” and allowed the St. Louis Blues to crawl back into the game and eventually win by a score of 3-1, on Thursday night at the Lenovo Center.

Islanders 4, Blues 3 (OT): Barzal caps 3-goal comeback

The Islanders’ incredible overtime magic continued with their 10th OT winner of the season, this time built off the foundation of a three-goal comeback and a rare double-power-play conversion from a team whose power play can rarely shoot straight.

Robert Thomas 'Most Likely' Gets Moved This Summer, 6 Destinations Listed

Despite the multitude of rumors at the trade deadline, Robert Thomas wasn't moved. The player himself spoke out on Monday, telling Jeff Marek on The Sheet that he was never asked to waive his no-trade clause. However, that doesn't mean the St. Louis Blues won't try again after the season.  In fact, according to insider Pierre LeBrun, in The Athletic , a trade is 'most likely' to come this summer. Alex Steen officially takes over for Doug Armstrong as GM of the Blues on July 1. Whether Rob...

Trade Deadline Aftermath: 2 Islanders Dangled in Deals, One Blocked Trade with NTC

The New York Islanders made a big addition at the trade deadline, landing veteran center Brayden Schenn from the St. Louis Blues in an 11th-hour deal just before the 3pm ET buzzer. Schenn had to be convinced by GM Mathieu Darche & head coach Patrick Roy, however, to waive his no-trade clause before the deal was consummated.  The Islanders, as it turns out, didn't have the same luck with their own player, forward Anthony Duclair. According to insider David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period , h...

Breaking Interview: Robert Thomas Reveals Exactly How Far Things Got at Deadline

One of the most talked about players at the trade deadline was the St. Louis Blues' star first-line center Robert Thomas. The 26-year-old was notably one of the big-name players that GM Doug Armstrong was willing to trade in his attempted big sell-off.  But Thomas has five years left on his eight-year deal, and owns a full no-trade clause. He appeared on Monday on The Sheet podcast with insiders Jeff Marek and Greg Wyshynski to tell us all just exactly how close he came to being dealt (hi...

Islanders News: Finishing the road trip, packing up Schenn

The Islanders finish their four-game road trip with a stop to help Brayden Schenn pack up in St. Louis, where the Blues are returning from a lottery-spoiling perfect four-game western road trip of their own.

Quick Bites: Sharks Fight Back, Fall Short in OT

In the closing stretch of the season, the margin for error can shrink quickly. On Friday night, the San Jose Sharks were reminded how costly those details can be. Despite tying the game up twice and forcing overtime, the Sharks fell 3–2 to the St. Louis Blues at the SAP Center, looking for a single point in a game where execution proved itself decisive. San Jose never led, but managed to answer both St. Louis goals before overtime. Still, puck management issues and defensive lapses c...

Blues at Sharks game 60: Lines, game thread and how to watch

The trade deadline has come and gone, and both the St. Louis Blues and San Jose Sharks made some moves at the deadline. The Blues did more selling than the Sharks at the deadline. It makes sense, the Blues are well out of the playoffs and need to restock the cupboards for a retool at the very least. Today, the Blues traded defenseman Justin Faulk to the Detroit Red Wings for Justin Holl and Dmitri Buchelnikov and a pair of picks. St. Louis also traded captain Brayden Schenn to the New Yor...

Detroit Red Wings Make Big Last-Minute Move, Land Justin Faulk From Blues

His captain laid into him for his lack of action after last year's trade deadline, so it was utterly imperative on Steve Yzerman to make a big move for his blossoming Detroit Red Wings this year. There was really no excuse not to. And finally, at the 11th hour (or really, the very last minute) of this trade deadline, the Wings have finally made a splash, landing Justin Faulk from the St. Louis Blues. Sounds like it's happening. #stlblues https://t.co/NoliNGLW4i — Jeremy Rutherford (@jprutherfo...

Pittsburgh Penguins reject St. Louis Blues trade offer

The Pittsburgh Penguins are trying to make a huge splash ahead of Friday afternoon's trade deadline, but Kyle Dubas won't be selling the farm to make it happen. Rumor has the Penguins and St. Louis Blues are in trade talks involving Robert Thomas heading to the Pens. Dubas has stated he'd prefer to shift his core younger this season and next, and Thomas fits the bill as a 26-year-old in his prime, who is under contract through the 2031 season. Apparently the Blues wanted the trade package to s...
