That's Wild
Is this betrayal? Are we now super mad? Minnesota Wild legend Mikko Koivu has joined division rival St. Louis Blues as a European Development Consultant, as he will work with the Blues' prospects drafted out of Europe and help them develop. Now, are we expecting the next Koivu to...
The Boston Bruins lost in six games to the Buffalo Sabres in the first round and came away with two clear organizational conclusions.
They need a true first-line center, and they need more speed on the right side of their blue line.
Nick Goss of NBC Sports Boston laid out a offseason trade board addressing both needs. Here are five names from that list.
Robert Thomas - St. Louis Blues
Thomas is the most ambitious swing and the one with the most noise behind it.
He is 26 years old wit...
The St. Louis Blues have retained goaltending depth by signing netminder Will Cranley to a one-year, two-way contract extension, the team announced Monday through President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Doug Armstrong. Cranley, 24, split the 2025-26 season between the AHL’s Springfield Thunderbirds and the ECHL’s Florida Everblades. He appeared in 10 games for […]

Cranley was selected by the Blues in the sixth round of the 2020 draft.
The Edmonton Oilers have some work to do this offseason, as they have, for all intents and purposes, one last kick at the can at convincing Connor McDavid that he should stick around after his two-year extension is up. With that, one of the prime incentives of this offseason will be to land "a speedy, scoring winger for Connor McDavid," writes insider David Pagnotta . He goes on to name names, listing two potential targets. Jeff Marek recently suggested St. Louis Blues winger Jordan Kyro...

The St. Louis Blues enter the 2026 NHL Draft with three first-round picks, twelve total selections, and a prospect pool that The Athletic 's Scott Wheeler ranked tenth in the league as recently as March. They also have a problem. As Wheeler wrote, the Blues' pool is missing a truly elite prospect. With picks at 11th and 15th overall, plus Colorado's first-rounder slotting in somewhere around 30th when the Avalanche's season ends, the Blues have the assets to be aggressive. The question everyon...
The first part of this might be a little traumatic as an Edmonton Oilers fan reading this, but Paul Fischer was acquired in the 2024 off-season from St. Louis along with a third-round pick in 2028. This trade was basically seen as a “sorry, we offer-sheeted your top two prospects. Please don’t match either, and…
Keep an eye on the Edmonton Oilers and St. Louis Blues this summer. There's been plenty of speculation the last 12 months over Jordan Kyrou's future in St. Louis, and while trade talks fizzled out before March's deadline, there's a very good chance that the Oilers circle back with a big trade offer around next month's NHL Draft in Buffalo. Kyrou, 28, is signed through the 2031 season at $8.1 million AAV, and holds a no-trade clause on his contract. There's been some reports he denied a move to...
The Edmonton Oilers have a critical offseason, as they face, effectively, one more year to show Connor McDavid that they can put a Cup winner around him. Next summer, he'd be heading into his pending UFA year, and that could be the end of the line for him in Edmonton if they haven't made huge strides. To that end, insider Jeff Marek joined Daily Faceoff Live to discuss some of the moves that the Oilers should look to make this summer. And he says Jordan Kyrou of the St. Louis Blues shoul...
On May 17th in 1995, Gino Odjick of the Vancouver Canucks attacked all five St. Louis Blues skaters in the third period of Game 6 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals in response to Glenn Anderson spearing Pavel Bure in the eye earlier in the previous game.
The Canucks lost the game that night 8-2 but won the series 4-3.
That's today in NHL history.

On May 10th in 1970, Bobby Orr scored the overtime marker in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals giving the Boston Bruins a 4-3 win and their first Stanley Cup in 29 years, sweeping Scotty Bowman's St. Louis Blues.
The image of Orr flying through the air with his arms raised after being tripped by defenseman Noel Picard at the moment the goal was scored is arguably the most famous and recognized
On May 10th in 1998, Chris Pronger caught a slapshot in the chest courtesy of Detroit Red Wings defenseman Dmitri Mironov causing the St. Louis Blues blueliner to suffer an acute heart attack, with his team down 4-1 with 16 minutes remaining in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinal.

The St. Louis Blues are expected to trade goaltender Jordan Binnington this offseason. With Joel Hofer ready and able to take over as the team's number-one goalie, Binnington has found himself near the top of almost all then insider's offseason trade boards. The Blues are retooling on the fly and are expected to use Binnington to try and find a top-nine forward who can step into the team's lineup on a regular basis next season. The veteran goaltender had a down season last year, but once again...
Head coach Craig Berube was fired on May 13th , after meeting with the Toronto Maple Leafs general manager, John Chayka, and executive advisor of hockey operations, Mats Sundin. The group met on the weekend, before GM Chayka would pull the trigger and restart the team's hunt for a coach after Berube's two seasons behind Toronto's bench. Once thought to be a premier coaching prospect in the NHL after winning a Stanley Cup with the St. Louis Blues in 2019, Berube's stock has f...
Manon Rheaume is a name that is forever etched in Tampa Bay Lightning history. On September 23, 1992 (back when the Tampa Tribune was just 25 cents) she appeared in a pre-season game for the Lightning against the St. Louis Blues, stopping seven of nine shots in one period of play. Her debut marked the first time a woman participated in one of the four major North American sports leagues.
Rheaume would appear in two games for the Atlanta Knights that season, posting a 0-1-1 record with a 6...

According to plugged-in insider Michael Russo, the Minnesota Wild offered the St. Louis Blues Jesper Wallstedt and Danila Yurov at the deadline for Robert Thomas. The Blues rejected the offer.

For everyone who wondered why it took so long to fire Berube after the GM hire of 10 days ago, this is going to be an interminable wait.
Colton Parayko didn't want to join the Buffalo Sabres, what about the Ottawa Senators. Reports have surfaced that both teams have been in contact to discuss the parameters of a Parayko trade, but as we know, his no-trade protection could be a big hurdle. Parayko, 32, is signed through the 2030 season at $6.5 million AAV, and holds a no-trade clause that doesn't go down to just 15 teams for two more summers. Bruce Garrioch: The Citizen reported that the Senators kicked tires on Colton Parayko; ...
After a short playoff run, the Edmonton Oilers should be in for a busy offseason. The Oilers' roster is simply not strong enough right now, and they have multiple needs to address during the summer because of it. One specific area that the Oilers must improve this offseason is their goaltending. Tristan Jarry has not lived up to expectations since being acquired from the Pittsburgh Penguins, while Connor Ingram is a better fit as a backup. Thus, it would be shocking if the Oilers don't try to ...

Chicago Blackhawks The Blackhawks need to improve their top six immensely this offseason. Due to this, a player like Buchnevich could have the potential to grab th...

Dylan Holloway made his position clear on the St. Louis Blues when he shared his thoughts on his upcoming free agency.
"It was kind of wild two years ago," Holloway said, referencing the offer sheet that brought him from Edmonton to St. Louis in the summer of 2024. "But obviously I'm very thankful to be a Blue and I want to be a Blue for a long time."
The 24-year-old forward becomes a restricted free agent on July 1 when his two-year, $4.58 million contract expires, and St. Louis is expect...
