Blues Rumors: St. Louis Could Revisit Brayden Schenn Trade Talks
Could a Schenn Trade Happen This Summer?
At the trade deadline, both the Ottawa Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs reportedly showed interest in Schenn, but the Blues captain made it clear he wanted to stay in St. Louis.
He ended the year with 50 points and anchored a red-hot Blues team that surged into the postseason. Still, things could change quickly: on July 1, Schenn’s full no-trade clause becomes a 15-team modified list, giving GM Doug Armstrong more flexibility if a deal materializes.
Luke Schenn confirmed he’s got no family ties to the Stars like he did with brother Brayden on Blues in round 1.

Schenn's leadership and physical play were crucial in the team's 19-4-3 finish, but with three years remaining on his $6.5 million AAV contract and a rising salary cap ahead, the Blues may consider moving him to free up space or to retool around younger talent.
The Blues’ Bigger Picture
Schenn isn't the only player whose name is swirling in trade talk. Forward Jordan Kyrou could also be on the move, and several key roster decisions—including extensions for Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg—loom large. While Schenn's desire to stay has been evident, Armstrong must weigh that loyalty against a roster that might need reshaping to stay competitive.

Whether the Blues re-engage Schenn in trade discussions or keep their captain for another season, one thing is clear: change is on the table in St. Louis.
