Armstrong denies Blues leak, orders staff-record check amid Parayko trade chatter

Blues GM Doug Armstrong says a Parayko-trade leak wasn’t from the Blues and ordered a probe of staff phone, text, and email records; Parayko blocked the deal with Buffalo using his no-trade clause, and Armstrong warned that anyone involved in leaks would face termination, while noting the challenge of social media during the NHL trade deadline.

Wings land Faulk in bold deadline deal with Blues

Detroit Red Wings acquired defenseman Justin Faulk from the St. Louis Blues ahead of the NHL trade deadline in a deal that sends St. Louis a first-round pick and a third-round pick (Detroit's own, plus a pick from Pittsburgh), plus Justin Holl and prospect Dmitri Buchelnikov to the Blues. Faulk is under a seven-year, $45.5 million contract with a $6.5 million cap hit and a 15-team no-trade clause, and should bolster Detroit's right-handed top-four defense for this season and next, though his scoring has waned. The Blues gain significant draft capital and depth as part of a rebuild, with Holl likely to finish the season as a pending UFA and Buchelnikov having expected North American potential.

Parayko Won’t Waive NTC as Blues Eye Faulk Rally at Deadline

Colton Parayko will not waive his no-trade protection before the NHL trade deadline, despite Buffalo’s interest, leaving the Blues to potentially pivot toward trading fellow defender Justin Faulk as they seek a strong return; Parayko’s down season and $6.5M cap hit, plus his four-year term, factor into the Blues’ deadline strategy.

Parayko uses no-trade clause to halt Blues-Sabres trade

Colton Parayko invoked his full no‑trade protection to veto a Blues-to-Sabres deal that had been in framework, keeping the Blues’ top defenseman in St. Louis and forcing Buffalo to pivot to other defensive options as the trade market tightens; the move underscores ongoing Blues retooling and the evolving no-trade protections in Parayko’s contract.

Blues' high price for Thomas dims Flyers' deadline hopes

The Blues reportedly want a steep, long-term return for center Robert Thomas, making a Flyers trade unlikely despite the Flyers’ need for a top-line center and his reasonable contract. Meanwhile, the Columbus Blue Jackets have been fielding inquiries on Charlie Coyle and Mason Marchment but aren’t trading them yet as they push for a playoff spot. Top prospect Ethan Belchetz will miss the rest of the season with a broken left clavicle, which could impact his draft stock. The piece notes Columbus’ strong run under coach Rick Bowness and their proximity to a playoff berth.

Parayko's Potential Move to Sabres Advances, Pending His Consent

The St. Louis Blues reportedly agreed to trade defenseman Colton Parayko to the Buffalo Sabres, but the deal hinges on Parayko waiving his no-trade clause. The return is not yet known, and Parayko, 32, is under contract through 2030 at a $6.5 million cap hit after a down season. He did not suit up against Seattle due to back spasms. The NHL trade deadline is Friday, and earlier talks about sending center Robert Thomas did not materialize.

Sabres close in on Colton Parayko trade to bolster defense

Buffalo is finalizing a trade to acquire defenseman Colton Parayko from the St. Louis Blues, sending Radim Mrtka and a first-round pick to St. Louis (Buffalo drafted Mrtka ninth overall in 2025). Parayko, 32, is under a $6.5 million AAV contract through 2030 with a full no-movement clause and must approve the deal. A premier shutdown defender with Olympic pedigree and a key part of the Blues’ 2019 Stanley Cup run, Parayko has 14 points in 58 games this season. The Sabres discussed a Robert Thomas swap earlier; currently they sit two points behind Tampa Bay in the Atlantic Division, with two extra games played, as Buffalo seeks its 14th straight playoff-less year.
