NHL Rumor Roundup: Are The Montreal Canadiens Pursuing Jordan Kyrou?
Jordan Kyrou surfaced as a trade candidate leading up to last month's NHL draft. While the 27-year-old right winger remains with the St. Louis Blues, he's been linked to the Montreal Canadiens in the rumor mill. Advertisement Following the Canadiens' acquisition of defenseman Noah Dobson from the New York Islanders on June 27, TSN's Pierre LeBrun reported they weren't done making trades. He said they were among several teams expressing an interest in Kyrou. While the Canadiens need a second-line center, they're also open to adding a scoring winger. LeBrun indicated that teams weren't sure how serious Blues GM Doug Armstrong was about moving Kyrou. He's in the third season of his eight-year contract with an average annual value of $8.125 million. LeBrun pointed out that Kyrou's no-trade clause would have kicked in on July 1. He subsequently noted the Canadiens' interest in Kyrou remained throughout the draft weekend but felt it would take multiple assets for the Habs to land him. On June 28, The Athletic's Jeremy Rutherford claimed the Blues were in the market for a center, but that's something the Canadiens can't help them with. Armstrong has since added centers Pius Suter and Nick Bjugstad via free agency. Jordan Kyrou (Jerome Miron-Imagn Images) Kyrou's no-trade clause is now in effect, but reports persist claiming the Canadiens are still pursuing him. Marco D'Amico reported a source claiming they're still trying to add to their top-six forwards and still have the Blues winger among their targets. Advertisement Montreal and St. Louis have a recent trade history, with the Canadiens shipping defenseman Logan Mailloux to the Blues for gritty winger Zack Bolduc. However, the possibility of the Habs landing Kyrou rests on whether he's willing to waive his clause and if they could meet what could be a steep asking price from the Blues. Both options appear remote. Get the latest news and trending stories by following The Hockey News on Google News and by subscribing to The Hockey News newsletter here.

Taran Armstrong with the nice feed
Armstrong: St. Louis Blues Can Look To Improve Blue Line, Not Out Of Realm Of Possibility Same Group Returns MARYLAND HEIGHTS, Mo. -- With the recent news that the St. Louis Blues have poked their noses into the ongoings of potential restricted free agent of New York Islanders defenseman Noah Dobson and what it could cost them should they encounter talks of a trade, general manager Doug Armstrong made something perfectly clear regarding the team's defensive unit.

Blues sign Pius Suter, place Nick Leddy on waivers: Where does it leave the depth chart?
The St. Louis Blues' offseason plan became even more clear Wednesday. Signing free-agent forward Pius Suter and placing defenseman Nick Leddy on waivers marked two significant moves after Tuesday's trade for defenseman Logan Mailloux and signing of center Nick Bjugstad. Essentially, the Blues got deeper up the middle with Suter and Bjugstad and younger on the blue line with Mailloux on the way in and Leddy potentially on the way out. Advertisement And to think that if Leddy gets picked up on waivers Thursday, general manager Doug Armstrong will have actually saved $1,363,334 of salary cap in 2025-26. The combined AAV for Suter ($4.125 million), Bjugstad ($1.75 million) and Mailloux ($875,000) is $6,750,000, while the combined AAV for Radek Faksa ($3.25 million), Zack Bolduc ($863,334) and Leddy ($4 milllion) was $8,113,334. Granted, the Blues are taking a gamble dealing Bolduc, but that's some shrewd savings. Armstrong desperately wanted to add a legitimate middle-six center, and while Bjugstad appeared to be the lone addition, it was clear when the Blues moved Bolduc that they were still looking for forwards in free agency. On Day 2 Wednesday, they picked up that forward in Suter, who can play both center and wing. They can either start the season with him as their third-line center and push Bjugstad down to the fourth-line center, or keep Bjugstad as the third-line center and play Suter on the wing. Either way, there's a possibility now that Oskar Sundqvist could find himself on the wing, and meanwhile, Mathieu Joseph and Alexandre Texier may be battling for a spot on the roster. One under-the-radar benefit of the Suter signing is his ability on the penalty kill. The Blues are losing a quality penalty-killer in Faksa, but Suter should more than make up for his loss. His career face-off percentage is just 46 percent, so whether he's on the third line or the PK, he might be better suited for the wing. But he's had success at center and the Blues likely see him there. In the Blues' other significant move Wednesday, they made it known that they're trying to part ways with Leddy. With the addition of Mailloux Tuesday, Armstrong was asked about the log-jam on defense, and replied: 'We'll look at it.' It didn't take long, as less than 24 laters Leddy was on waivers. Advertisement The Blues will find out Thursday afternoon if Leddy has cleared waivers. If he does, he'll have a new team and the Blues will be off the hook for the final $4 million left on his four-year, $16 million contract. This clears the way for the Blues to start the season with a top pair of Cam Fowler and Colton Parayko, a second pair of Philip Broberg and Justin Faulk and a third pair of Tyler Tucker and Mailloux. Matthew Kessel could be in line to be the team's seventh defenseman.
