"St. Louis also traded captain Brayden Schenn to the New York Islanders for Jonathan Drouin and goaltender Marcus Gidlof and two more picks. Drouin could play for the Blues today, considering that the Islanders are also in San Jose, preparing to play the Sharks tomorrow."
"Getting two first-round picks out of these two trades is a good deal for the Blues, even if both of those first-rounders are likely to be in the latter half of this year's draft. Interestingly, the biggest piece the Blues were rumored to be trading did not get moved."
"The Blues' top scorer is Pavel Buchnevich. He has 38 points in 61 games. He, Jordan Kyrou and Jake Neighbours all lead the team with 14 goals apiece. In the net, Jordan Binnington shares duties with Joel Hofer."
The St. Louis Blues executed a significant sell-off at the trade deadline, trading defenseman Justin Faulk to Detroit for Justin Holl, Dmitri Buchelnikov, and draft picks, and trading captain Brayden Schenn to the New York Islanders for Jonathan Drouin, goaltender Marcus Gidlof, and additional picks. The Blues acquired two first-round picks across these trades, though both are expected to be in the latter half of the draft. Center Robert Thomas, rumored to be available, remained with the team after the Blues either failed to find a suitable offer or declined insufficient proposals. The Sharks made minimal moves, trading Timothy Liljegren to Washington and signing goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic to a new contract.
