Some thoughts:
You'd expect the Blues to be busy, but it takes trade partners. Army's prices have been high, but push comes to shove when this day finally comes.
-- It's been quiet on the Thomas front. A few teams could make a last-ditch effort, otherwise this is headed to the offseason.
-- It makes a lot of sense to trade Faulk today. Several right-shot D have been dealt, putting Faulk at top of teams' wish-list.
-- Re: Parayko I can't see him waiving NTC after vetoing the Buffalo deal. My guess is it will get revisited in the offseason.
-- It's Hofer's team, so Binnington likely to be moved at some point. Options limited now, but could open up in June.
-- Schenn wants to stay, but realizes the Blues' situation and would move, though only for the perfect spot. He deserves that.
-- It's been quiet, too, on Kyrou, but I believe the Blues are trying to move him. Will require best return, so like Thomas, no rush.
-- If the Blues are going into a longer retool/rebuild, moving Buchnevich would be a top priority, but can they do it?
--Suter, Sundqvist, Fowler are also trade candidates, but won't yield much in return. I just didn't want to leave them off list.
