NHL Trade Rumors: St. Louis Blues could trade Brayden Schenn, Justin Faulk, or Jordan Binnington at deadline

St. Louis Blues have transformed into one of the NHL's most-watched teams as teams prepare for the upcoming trade deadline. The team experienced speculation about its performance earlier in the season, but its current results on the ice have increased public interest about their performance. While the club is facing some important decisions on how to move forward, St. Louis finds itself at the bottom of the league.

Management appears willing to consider player transactions because Brayden Schenn, Justin Faulk, and Jordan Binnington have entered trade discussions. The Blues currently sit in one of the lowest positions in the league standings, which forces them to make player selection choices because upcoming weeks will determine their future team composition.

What are NHL insiders saying about St. Louis Blues’ trade plans?

As per The Athletic’s Jeremy Rutherford, on Saturday, the upcoming trade deadline will see the Blues either keep their current roster or trade Brayden Schenn and Justin Faulk. Rutherford mentioned that Jordan Binnington remains a trade option because he is still mentioned, but the team will probably make a goaltender transaction during the offseason period instead of making one now.
The recent development about Schenn shows increasing interest from various teams, which includes the Vegas Golden Knights as potential buyers, according to The Hockey News' Julian Gaudio. Two players, including Robert Thomas and Jordan Kyrou, have become trade candidates for the Blues, yet the team does not want to trade them from their current locations. The Blues need to receive an extensive package of players for both athletes because they hold complete no-trade agreements.
Sportsnet reporter Elliotte Friedman reported on Friday that the Blues need to acquire a "stud top-six forward who’s slightly younger" as their main requirement for any transaction involving Thomas. St. Louis wants to receive a trade return for Faulk, which matches the Calgary deal that brought Rasmus Andersson to their team. The Saturday update showed that the Blues plan to sell their players at normal prices.

The current state of the Blues shows that they are actively listening to everything around them. The team does not hurry to sell their assets but continues to monitor market developments. The team will only execute a trade when another team agrees to their pricing terms, which they established themselves.
