All of the St. Louis Blues’ top trade candidates have term and a value of over $6 million
Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic: The St. Louis Blues have several players listed on the trade watch boards, but all of the top players listed have a cap hit of over $6 million. 10 of the 16 teams in the playoff positions have less than $3 million in cap space.
Robert Thomas (five years at $8.125 million at an NMC), Jordan Kyrou (five years at $8.125 million at an NMC), Justin Faulk (one year at $6.5 million with a 15-team no-trade list), Colton Parayko (four years at $6.5 million at an NMC), Brayden Schenn (two years at $6.5 million with a 15-team no-trade list) and Jordan Binnington (one year for $6 million with a 14-team no-trade list).
If the Blues want to move any of the above at the trade deadline, they will likely have to withhold salary or take back money.
Pius Suter, Oskar Sundqvist and Mathieu Joseph are other potential Blues who could be on the move.
