Four Blues Players Feature On The Hockey News' NHL Trade Deadline Board

THN.com released its first edition of its NHL Trade Deadline Board, which features four St. Louis Blues players.

The list comprises 25 players, ranked by speculation, likelihood of being traded, and effectiveness.

The four Blues players who appear on this list are center Brayden Schenn at No. 4, defenseman Justin Faulk at No. 12, right winger Jordan Kyrou at No. 17, and goaltender Jordan Binnington at No. 21.

Schenn and Faulk seem the likeliest to be dealt, as both veterans come with at least an additional year on their contract with plenty of playoff experience.

Schenn is in the midst of his ninth season with the Blues and his third season as captain. At 34 years old, Schenn has shown signs of offensive decline, but he remains a potent defensive presence and a physical presence with leadership qualities.

While he might not slide into most teams’ top six, he could be an effective third-line center.

As for Faulk, he’s enjoying a strong offensive season, on pace to score 16 goals and 46 points. At 33 years old, he brings two-way versatility with the ability to play north of 20 minutes a game. The Blues are asking a lot for Faulk, but he could slide into practically any NHL team’s top 4.

While talent-wise, Kyrou and Binnington should be higher on the list, they drop down because of the likelihood of being traded is far lower than many of the players ahead of them.

Report: Insider Believes Jordan Kyrou Won’t Be With The St. Louis Blues In 2026-27 A new report suggests that Jordan Kyrou won’t be a member of the St. Louis Blues next season.

Kyrou and Binnington demand a hefty return, and while the Blues have mentioned that everyone is available, they aren’t rushing to get them out the door like they are with Schenn and Faulk. There is a better chance they are moved in the off-season rather than before the trade deadline, but insiders say there is still a possibility.

Including the four mentioned Blues players, Robert Thomas, Oskar Sundqvist, and Pius Suter have garnered attention in the rumor mill. The NHL trade deadline is seven days away, and GM Doug Armstrong will have his hands full and could be the busiest GM.
