The St. Louis Blues could make a lot of big moves if they want
Scott Maxwell of Daily Faceoff: Jeff Marek was on Daily Faceoff Live, talking about the St. Louis Blues and what they could be thinking leading up to the trade deadline. They have a lot of directions they could go.
“But we’ve all heard the names. If Robert Thomas is on the market, look out. Find me the team that couldn’t use one of the best playmakers in the NHL, period. So we’ll hear plenty about Jordan Kyrou, and we’ll hear about Faulk, and we’ll probably hear about Jordan Binnington, and I would wonder about Colton Parayko.
I mean, that whole blue line. As much as we picked apart the goaltending this year, and make no mistake about it, the goalies have been hard to hit, but that blue line in front of them has been awful this season. Like, that’s got to be Exhibit A right now for Doug Armstrong.”
NHL Rumors: Kraken, Rangers, and the Blackhawks
Quick Hits on the Lightning, Sharks, Maple Leafs, Senators, Jets, Red Wings, and Blue Jackets
David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period: The Tampa Bay Lightning are looking for some additional scoring help, but GM Julien BriseBois said that it’s hard to acquire a “player that will make us better now and beyond.”
San Jose Sharks defenseman Timothy Liljegren doesn’t appear to be in the future plans and the pending UFA is available.
Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson would generate a lot of trade interest.
Despite appearing to be out of playoff race at the moment, the Ottawa Senators are looking to add to their roster.
The Winnipeg Jets and Seattle Kraken haven’t talked about Shane Wright, though he might work nicely with winger Cole Perfetti.
The Detroit Red Wings would like to add before the deadline, and they prefer player(s) with term.
The Columbus Blue Jackets will talk with some of their pending UFAs about potential contract extensions. They may use the Olympic break to see what a Jet Greaves extension might look like.
