The Minnesota Wild will be busy this week as we head to Friday's trade deadline. They're expected to make another big splash. For now, they have hit the waiver wire to claim 10-year veteran forward Robby Fabbri from the St. Louis Blues. Minnesota claims Robby Fabbri — Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) March 2, 2026 Fabbri adds another depth forward to the mix for the Wild. He has had four 15+ goal seasons in his career, including 18- and 17-goal years with the Detroit Red Wings with...
We are now in the week of the NHL trade deadline and that means one thing: A whole lot of speculation about who will be moved after months of general inactivity across the league. Aside from the Minnesota Wild's blockbuster Quinn Hughes trade and the somewhat boring move of Artemi Panarin going to t...
The St. Louis Blues are involved in advanced trade talks on Robert Thomas, and by the sounds of it, two serious suitors have emerged as the heavy favorites. If Thomas is dealt before Friday's deadline, expect to see either the Boston Bruins or Utah Mammoth the trade-deadline winners. The Bruins are offering top prospects in return for Thomas, including Matthew Poitras and Dean Letourneau. They don't see interested moving James Hagens at this time. The Mammoth have Tij Iginla and Cole Beaudoin ...
The Edmonton Oilers, despite the return of assistant coach Paul Coffey behind the bench, still need to address their defensive concerns ahead of Friday's trade deadline. This much is clear. They have been linked to a couple of candidates. We know that their interest in Toronto Maple Leafs' puck-mover Oliver Ekman-Larsson "is real." But according to insider Frank Seravalli, the Oil are also "fixated" on Blues top-four d-man Justin Faulk. According to Frank Seravalli Oilers are fixated on ...
It's starting to sound like the St. Louis Blues are going to trade veteran goaltender Jordan Binnington. GM Doug Armstrong has been listening to trade offers on several of his core players, and there's three teams who have advanced in trade talks surrounding the Blues' netminder. Binnington has one season left on his contract at $6 million, and owns a 14-team no-trade list. While Binnington stood on his head for Team Canada at the Olympics, he's had a tough season with the struggling Blues. Bi...
First Period In the first period, the Devils had a very disjointed effort. Despite not generating a ton of scoring chances (three high-danger), the team had several giveaways. Per Natural Stat Trick, Dawson Mercer (2), Connor Brown, Nick Bjugstad, Nico Hischier, Simon Nemec, and Timo Meier were all credited with giveaways on bad passes. Having […]
Last Devils Game On Thursday night, the Devils played their 2nd game in 2 nights and did what they do best, losing 4-1 to the Pittsburgh Penguins. I came to the realization that the Devils actually do excel at something. They lose so often and are so good at it, that you would not be […]
With just a week to go before the NHL Trade Deadline, the Edmonton Oilers seem destined to make a move to bolster their lineup, in hopes of making another deep run in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. As has been the conversation for the past several years, many expect the Oilers to add to their blue…
It's well known now around the NHL: The reason that the sure-fire sellers, the St. Louis Blues , haven't been able to pull the trigger yet on a deal, is due to the high prices they've set on their trade candidates. And when it comes to center Robert Thomas, the ask is astronomical. According to Blues insider Jeremy Rutherford in The Athletic , here's what it'll cost a team to pry the point-per-game man away from St. Louis: Armstrong has made it clear what the asking price is ...
Hold onto your hats because this trade deadline could be one for the ages. The NHL resumed action this week and trade talks are as hot as ever, one week away from the Mar.6 deadline. Two teams to keep an eye on, the Boston Bruins and St. Louis Blues. Daily Faceoff's Antony Di Marco recently linked the two clubs, suggestion the stars could align for a blockbuster move ahead of the deadline, involving Blues forward Robert Thomas. Di Marco recently reported: The Blues had assistant GM Tim Taylor ...
The St. Louis Blues have some huge names littering Trade Boards around the NHL as we steam towards the March 6th trade deadline. One of the biggest is 26-year-old center Robert Thomas. The Detroit Red Wings are focused on adding a top-six talent on offense as they battle for position near the top of the Atlantic Division. Could a deal be in the works that would see Thomas transported to the Motor City? According to insider Nick Kypreos of Sportsnet , it's a distinct possibility.&nb...
The NHL is back in action after its damn-near-monthlong Olympic break with eight games tonight, though the Islanders don’t resume until tomorrow night in Montreal, one of 12 games Thursday. That didn’t keep them from kicking off the looming trade frenzy, though, with a minor league swap of Julien Gauthier to the Blues/Springfield for Matt […]
The NHL returns this week and we've already seen two trades go down on Tuesday, with several others expected this week. There's been no shortage of trade conversations taking place, and specifically looking at the blueline, there's several right-handed defencemen being discussed on ongoing discussions. Bruce Garrioch: A league executive told the Citizen that Brandon Carlo; Dougie Hamilton; Connor Murphy...and both Justin Faulk and Colton Parayko...are likely available - Ottawa Citizen As Garri...
One of the Edmonton Oilers’ needs before March 6th’s trade deadline is to add some bottom-six scoring. There are quite a few options, such as Boone Jenner, who we already profiled earlier this month. Another option for the Oilers is St. Louis Blues captain Brayden Schenn. In Daily Faceoff’s latest trade board, Schenn was listed…
The St. Louis Blues continue to ask a high price for their multiple trade candidates, but that hasn't stopped teams from snooping around. According to James Murphy in rg.org, the Boston Bruins are 'actively targeting' defenseman Justin Faulk. Boston has remained aggressive in its search for a right-shot top-four defenseman after missing out on Rasmus Andersson, with GM Don Sweeney reportedly holding ongoing discussions with St. Louis about Faulk for the past month. “They have been talking for ...
The St. Louis Blues are in no place to compete for a playoff spot this season and there are going to be some moves, or so we think. There should be trades coming, but general manager Doug Armstrong is making it tough to pull anything off as he is overvaluing the players on the roster. Frank Seravalli said, "I think the price for a lot of the Blues' players has turned people off, so Doug Armstrong is going to have to soften on that or else they're going to be hanging on to their guys." That wou...
The NHL resumes next week and with the Olympic roster freeze ending on Tuesday, expect to see a flurry of moves into late next week. Several insiders have stated they're expecting the action to be as busy as the four days after the 4 Nations Faceoff last February, and don't be surprised to see the St. Louis Blues and New York Islanders talking a blockbuster deal. Mike Rupp: Re Jordan Kyrou/Islanders: That would be the one team that I think can make it happen [in-season], and they've got Cole E...
On February 7th in 2009, Burnaby-born crooner and Vancouver Canucks fan Michael Buble took part in his most famous duet to date taking a turn in Tom Larscheid's shoes to color John Shorthouse's call.
Buble delivered a healthy dose of hometown bias to the play-by-play broadcast including a cover of Paul Leka's anthem midway through the match en route to the Canucks 7-3 win over the Chicago
On February 2nd in 2006, St. Louis Blues defenseman Dennis Wideman famously flubbed a shootout attempt against Chicago Blackhawks rookie goalie Corey Crawford, awkwardly falling before managing a shot on net.
The shootout miss remains a favorite among NHL hockey bloopers. The Blues eventually beat the Blackhawks that night by a score of 6-5.
That's today in NHL history.
The Minnesota Wild already pulled off one blockbuster trade this season, and it sounds like there's growing speculation that there's another one coming. Word is, GM Bill Guerin is using goaltender Jesper Wallstedt as a trade chip in talks, and one team that has aligned perfectly as a trade partner - the St. Louis Blues. Wallstedt is by far the Wild's best trade chip, and he could be landing multiple pieces from the Blues if this deal comes to fruition, projected by The Athletic's James Mirtle ...
If 26-year-old Robert Thomas is to be had at the upcoming trade deadline, it will take a very high price to do it. One recent report from Elliotte Friedman indicated that a team will have to make the St. Louis Blues say to themselves, 'there’s no way we can say no'. Which team is ready to try to bowl over the Blues with a Thomas offer? According to insider James Mirtle of The Athletic, we should not count out the Carolina Hurricanes making Thomas their next 'big swing.' Some...
Changes have to be made to the St. Louis Blues , and some definitely will, but the right players have to be swapped out. This is a team with some solid young talent, but there are still some younger players that may not be part of the future. Jordan Kyrou may be one of them. Nick Kypreos said, "Jordan Kyrou's been out there for the last little while. I also believe that he's open to looking at different scenarios on trying to win a Stanley Cup." At this point, the Blues may not be rebuilding, ...
Changes are going to come for the St. Louis Blues this season. With injuries, performances, and moves already being made due to where the team is, the Blues need a bigger shakeup. Nick Bjugstad was already traded and players like Jonatan Berggren and Jack Finley were picked up on waivers. This team is young, will sell their pending UFAs if they can, and also considering trading players with some term. Who that involves may include Robert Thomas, arguably the best player on the Blues. Nick Kypr...
The St. Louis Blues are adding some depth down the middle of the ice, as the Blues have claimed center Jack Finley off waivers from the Tampa Bay Lightning. STL claims Jack Finley — Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) February 7, 2026 Finley, 23 has appeared in 22 games for the Lightning this season, scoring two goals, and adding one assist for three points. He's been averaging just 8:24 of ice-time per game, and hasn't been used much else besides 5.vs.5. Finley has won 49% of his fac...
The trade deadline is officially less than a month away. It’s that time of year when we look at the sellers around the league. With the Olympic break beginning after Thursday’s slate of games, the division being playoff teams and non-playoff teams is becoming clear. After just barely squeaking into the playoffs last season and…
