St. Louis Blues In Advanced Trade Talks On 5 Players

The St. Louis Blues are open for business, and even though Colton Parayko nixed a trade to the Buffalo Sabres, don't think for a second general manager Doug Armstrong is anywhere near finished. The Blues are in advanced trade talks on several of their core players, including Parayko, Jordan Binnington, Robert Thomas, Pius Suter, and Justin Faulk. It's full sell mode for Armstrong and company as the Blues are looking to change over their core, and start an accelerated rebuild. Parayko leveraged...

2 Teams Emerge As Prefered Destinations for Colton Parayko

Colton Parayko made his decision earlier today. After the St. Louis Blues agreed on a trade to send him to the Buffalo Sabres late Wednesday, the 6-foot-6 defenseman decided to invoke his no-trade clause and blocked the deal . But that doesn't mean he won't agree to be dealt to a destination of his choosing.  Parayko, 32, has spent his entire 11-year NHL career in St. Louis, and he'd prefer to stay. But with the team attempting a major sell-off, he could be asked to waive his NTC once aga...

Breaking: Colton Parayko Makes His Decision on Buffalo Deal

No-trade and no-movement clauses have become more and more common in the NHL. And herein lies the reason that players want them. St. Louis Blues defenseman Colton Parayko was tentatively traded to the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday night, but he slept on it, and on Thursday confirmed that he would NOT be waiving his no-trade. The deal is nullified, and Parayko is staying put in St. Louis—for now. Confirming: #stlblues defenseman Colton Parayko has decided to not waive his no-trade clause to accep...

Reports: Sabres & Blues Still Talking Trade—Now For Defenseman

We know that the Buffalo Sabres were knee-deep in Robert Thomas discussions with the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday. That much has been confirmed. As has the fact that the idea of the Sabres landing Thomas has now been put to bed. Not happening. However, that doesn't mean that the Sabres and Blues are done talking. Several reports suggest that Buffalo is still eyeing a right-shot defenseman from St. Louis, and that just could be Colton Parayko.  As others have reported, keep an eye on Buffalo...

NHL Rumors: 2 Potential Trade Destinations For Jets' Luke Schenn

The Winnipeg Jets are standing out as prime sellers for the 2026 NHL trade deadline.

The Florida Panthers (30-26-3) will open a key four-game road trip when they pay a visit to the New York Islanders (34-21-5) this evening at UBS Arena. Florida is coming off a frustrating 3-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Friday in which they wasted a high-quality start from backup goalie Daniil Tarasov, who stopped 36 of 38 shots.

Lightning lose to Sabres, 6-2

If losing to the team chasing them in the standings wasn’t bad enough, the Tampa Bay Lightning are also facing the possiblity that two more players on their roster may be injured. In their uninspired 6-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres, Gage Goncalves and Dominik James went to the locker room early. Goncalves was shaken up by hit along the boards in the second period and James had his leg twisted underneath (similar to the Brayden Point injury against Philadelphia) late in the third. The injur...

Panthers fall short in 3-2 loss to Sabres

The Florida Panthers came up short in a tough 3-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres at Amerant Bank Arena, missing out on needed points in the process. A hooking penalty on A.J. Greer set the stage for the first Buffalo goal with 2:12 left in the first. Alex Tuch was given enough space to take a slick little backhand dish from Ryan McLeod and fire it above Daniil Tarasov’s right shoulder from the slot. The second assist went to defenseman Bo Byram. Florida would need just six seconds to tak...
