Will the Blues deal hot-headed Stanley Cup-winning goaltender in July?

The St. Louis Blues have found a great surprise in backup goaltender Joel Hofer. Selected 107th overall in 2018, Hofer has served 2nd-fiddle to Jordan Binnington in the Blues system.  Binnington helped the Blues overcome the odds in a 2019 underdog story, which led to the team winning a Stanley Cup against the Boston Bruins, led by Bruce Cassidy.  Players come and go, and as the Blues begin their retool, some players, including their own stars, may have to find a new home in the NHL....

GM #66: St. Louis Blues @ Winnipeg Jets

With the surprising win on Saturday over the league leading Colorado Avalanche, the Winnipeg Jets have managed to pull within 6 points of the Western Conference’s final wildcard spot. That spot is currently being held by the San Jose Sharks, who have played 1 less game than the True Northers, and our club still needs to pass 4 other franchises in standings before they could grab that last post-season berth. So there is a lot of work to be done with only 17 more contests left in the regular sea...

  The NHL trade deadline has come and gone. All excitement surrounding the annual event was muted by the league's newly minted rules .  One big name slated to be traded by general manager Doug Armstrong of the St. Louis Blues was defenseman Colton Parayko. Locked in for four more years, with a $6.5 million average annual value (AAV) cap hit, he had a ticket to Buffalo, but exercised his ability to waive the trade.  After much dismay surrounding his decision, he decided to stick ...

The Day After 67.0: Strong effort wasted as Oilers hope lost point doesn’t ‘come and haunt us later’

The Edmonton Oilers accomplished the bare minimum, securing a winning record on their four-game road trip this past week.

Four positives from Oilers’ four-game road trip: Frederic is finding a new gear, the Nurse-Murphy pairing has potential, and more

The Edmonton Oilers went 2-1-1 on their recent four-game road trip, which isn’t bad, but giving up a two-goal lead last game against the St. Louis Blues and losing in overtime certainly stung, letting a valuable point slip away. Nevertheless, there were several positives to take from the trip, including beating a dangerous Colorado Avalanche…

Oilers game notes: Edmonton looks to end road trip on high note against Blues

Very quietly, the St. Louis Blues are stringing together some games. It won’t be enough to surge forth into the playoffs in a stacked Central Division, and likely not enough to get them to a wild-card spot, but a 6-1-1 stretch out of the Olympic break means the Edmonton Oilers can’t take them lightly. Edmonton…

San Jose never led, but managed to answer both St. Louis goals before overtime. Still, puck management issues and defensive lapses c...

Today, the Blues traded defenseman Justin Faulk to the Detroit Red Wings for Justin Holl and Dmitri Buchelnikov and a pair of picks. St. Louis also traded captain Brayden Schenn to the New Yor...
