Overview
- The Blues sit at 5-8-2 and last in the Central Division after a slow start to the season.
- Frank Seravalli reports Armstrong has told other clubs he is open for business, positioning St. Louis for moves.
- Brayden Schenn is drawing renewed interest from contenders, though no trade has been completed.
- Schenn has two goals and six points with a league-worst -13 plus/minus and 16:49 average ice time, yet he owns a 52.2% faceoff win rate, on-ice shot attempts of 48.2% at five-on-five, and strong line-level expected goals.
- His $6.5 million cap hit runs for two seasons after this year and his protection shifted to a 15-team no-trade list, with the Maple Leafs and Devils viewed as likely suitors.
