NHL Trade Rumors: 3 Trade Destinations For Blues' Justin Faulk

Justin Faulk, St. Louis Blues

The St. Louis Blues have had a terrible start to the 2025-26 season, as they have a 5-8-3 record and are last in the Central Division. With this, trade rumors are starting to follow some of their top players, including defenseman Justin Faulk.

Due to this, let's look at three teams that could look to acquire Faulk this season. 

Detroit Red Wings 

The Red Wings would be wise to add another right-shot defenseman to their roster, so Faulk could be a strong addition to their roster. He would not only give them more stability on their right side but would also be a good mentor for the club's younger blueliners to have around. Detroit also has cap space to work with. 

Carolina Hurricanes

Could a reunion between the Hurricanes and Faulk come to fruition? They could use another right-shot defenseman, and Faulk could slot nicely on their second or third pairing. The Hurricanes would also give him the chance to play for a contender, so there could be a good match here. 

Vegas Golden Knights 

The Golden Knights could use another right-shot defenseman as well, so they could make for an interesting landing spot for Faulk. He would give them another experienced blueliner to work with and could work on both their special team units if needed.
