27 Jan
Summary

- Robert Thomas and Justin Faulk are top trade targets.
- Vegas Golden Knights linked to captain Brayden Schenn.
The St. Louis Blues are bracing for significant player movement as the NHL trade deadline approaches. The team has struggled throughout the season, with veterans largely underperforming and the club sitting in 31st place overall. Prospects like Dalibor Dvorsky, Otto Stenberg, and Jimmy Snuggerud are among the few bright spots fitting into the NHL lineup.
Several veteran players are reportedly being discussed in trade talks. Among the most prominent are Robert Thomas, Brayden Schenn, Jordan Kyrou, Pius Suter, Oscar Sundqvist, and Justin Faulk. Thomas, the team's No. 1 center, and defenseman Faulk are considered the most valuable trade assets.
Brayden Schenn, the team's captain, has attracted serious interest, with the Vegas Golden Knights emerging as a linked suitor. For Robert Thomas, the Blues are reportedly seeking an offer that is either overwhelming or includes a younger, top-six forward in return. Justin Faulk's potential return is being compared to the package the Calgary Flames received for a similar defenseman.
