Oilers come away empty-handed from Day One of cringe-worthy NHL draft
Article content First overall in 2010. First overall in 2011. First overall in 2012. First overall in 2015. Darnell Nurse seventh overall in 2013. Leon Draisaitl third overall in 2014. Jesse Puljujarvi fourth overall in 2016. Evan Bouchard 10th overall in 2018. The last weekend in June was Edmonton's time to shine. Now, fans in Edmonton barely know the draft is even happening, mostly because the Oilers had nothing to do with the first day. Edmonton had to sit out the first round Friday night and, barring a trade, won't pick in Saturday's second round, either. This is the other side of going all in to chase a Stanley Cup. They didn't have a first rounder in 2023 and don't have a first-round pick next year. Edmonton's first pick this year doesn't come until 83rd overall in the third round on Saturday — their compensation for deciding that Dylan Holloway wasn't worth $2.29 million and refusing to match the St. Louis Blues offer sheet.

Buffalo Sabres rejected $65 million Jordan Kyrou trade offer for JJ Peterka, claims insider in explosive NHL rumor
NHL-Jordan Kyrou of the St. Louis Blues (Credit: Getty Images) In what could be one of the more shocking developments of the NHL offseason, a trade rumor surfaced suggesting that the Buffalo Sabres declined a high-stakes offer involving St. Louis Blues forward Jordan Kyrou. As per a NHL insider Eklund, the Blues reportedly proposed Kyrou. Kyrou is currently on an 8year, $65 million contract. That too in exchange for Sabres winger JJ Peterka. The rumor has caused ripples across NHL circles. As Kyrou, a 26-year-old with back-to-back 70-point seasons, considered a top-tier offensive talent. However, the Sabres' front office allegedly didn't flinch at the proposal. Instead, they chose to retain Peterka, their 22-year-old German-born rising star who is coming off a breakout year. Breaking News: Huge NHL Trade - Buffalo Sabres Trade JJ Peterka to Utah Mammoth JJ Peterka seen as untouchable despite Kyrou's status What makes the reported rejection even more compelling. That is that Jordan Kyrou isn't just any player. His current contract, worth $65 million through 2031. This reflects his status as a central figure in St. Louis' offense, he notched 31 goals and 36 assists this past season. This reinforces his role as one of the team's most dynamic forwards. Although some fans questioned the move. Especially given Buffalo's 13th consecutive absence from the playoffs, and the team appears committed to developing its homegrown talent. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like nhà container: Xu hướng nhà ở hiện đại và bền vững 2025 Visionary Echo Tìm Ngay Undo Rather than making high-cost trades. For now, Peterka appears to be part of their core moving forward. Blues may explore other trade options after rejection From the St. Louis Blues' perspective, the alleged offer indicates a possible shift in strategy. After failing to make the playoffs, general manager Doug Armstrong appears open to shaking up the roster. Trading away a marquee player like Jordan Kyrou would have signaled a significant pivot. This potentially aimed at acquiring younger assets and rebooting their lineup. For now, both franchises remain in very different places strategically. And if this rumor holds weight. Buffalo's rejection could be seen as a major vote of confidence in their internal development pipeline.

NHL trade rumor: NHL trade twist as Canadiens and Blues reportedly engage Islanders over $12,000,000 defenseman per insider leak
NHL-St. Louis Blues teammates (Credit by: Getty Images) The NHL trade rumor mill is gaining momentum, and the latest spark comes from reports involving the Montreal Canadiens and St. Louis Blues. Both franchises are reportedly 'engaged' in discussions with the New York Islanders regarding one of the league's most expensive blueliners. According to a multiple league insiders have pointed to serious activity surrounding the Islanders' defenseman, whose annual cap hit sits at a staggering $12,000,000. Insider drops BOMBSHELL St. Louis Blues Trade report... Montreal Canadiens seek blue line reinforcement For the Montreal Canadiens, the pursuit of a high-end defenseman aligns with their long-term rebuild goals. Despite a young and promising core featuring Kaiden Guhle and David Reinbacher, Montreal lacks a veteran two-way presence on the back end. Acquiring a proven top-pairing defenseman could help the Canadiens accelerate their return to contention. It's worth noting that adding a $12,000,000 contract won't be an easy fit. Montreal must manage its young talent pipeline while also considering future extensions. But if the front office views this move as a bridge to stabilizing the roster, it may be willing to take that leap. St. Louis Blues aim to reshape their blue line On the other side, the St. Louis Blues appear equally serious about landing the Islanders' defenseman. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Livguard Lithium-X: The Future of Power Backup Livguard Learn More Undo After missing the playoffs in back-to-back seasons, the team is desperate to revamp its defense corps. With Colton Parayko and Torey Krug both facing criticism for inconsistent play, Blues General Manager Doug Armstrong might be ready to make a headline-making acquisition. Adding an elite, physical, puck-moving defender could reestablish the identity the Blues had during their 2019 Stanley Cup run. It's a risk, but one that fits the franchise's competitive timeline if Armstrong believes in the core. Islanders face a critical offseason decision ahead The New York Islanders now find themselves at a crossroads. After back-to-back first-round exits and a core that has largely plateaued, General Manager Lou Lamoriello may be feeling pressure to reset. If a deal involving their $12 million defenseman materializes, it could signal a shift from win-now mode to a longer-term retool. Both the Canadiens and the Blues appear serious. The coming days will reveal whether this rumor evolves into one of the biggest trades of the 2025 NHL offseason.

NHL Trade Rumour: St. Louis Blues eye potential deal with Noah Dobson ahead of July 1 deadline
Noah Dobson (via Getty Images) The New York Islanders' Noah Dobson and the St. Louis Blues' Jordan Kyrou are both making waves as NHL front offices consider high-impact roster transactions before prominent contract deadlines. While there's no confirmed deal on the table, league sources suggest that both teams are testing the market, and time is running out with Jordan Kyrou's full no-trade clause set to activate on July 1. St. Louis Blues explore Noah Dobson trade possibilities as Kyrou's no-trade clause nears activation St. Louis Blues GM Doug Armstrong is checking on the availability of Noah Dobson, the skilled 25-year-old right-handed defenseman who has arbitration rights as a pending restricted free agent. This situation suggests a blockbuster trade that has the potential to remake both franchises. Noah Dobson, a key member of the New York Islanders' blue line, is said to be looking for a contract of nearly $10 million annually—a big increase, but one commensurate with his top-pairing minutes and power-play usage. The St. LouisBlues, on the other hand, have a decision on Jordan Kyrou, their 25-year-old right wing, after a 70-point season. Kyrou is in the third year of his eight-year, $8.125 million deal. His no-trade provision kicks in fully on July 1, so any big trade that involves him would be much more difficult to make after that date. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If you have a mouse, play this game for 1 minute Navy Quest Undo Something BIG is brewing in St. Louis... Though there's no suggestion of a pending Dobson-for-Kyrou trade, league rumor has both names included in internal assessments as organizations consider what's available before free agency and trade windows. The New York Islanders, in the meantime, are dealing with cap limitations and the pressing need to add depth to their top-six forward corps. Mathew Barzal and Bo Horvat require an offensive winger, and a talent such as Kyrou would be a seamless fit. From a budget standpoint, it might make sense. The Blues have about $15.5 million in cap room and would be able to create even more by trading an older defenseman such as Justin Faulk or Nick Leddy, both of whom have huge contracts. Having Dobson would provide St. Louis with a real 1A/1B option on defense, along with Colton Parayko and a new PP quarterback. Islanders, meanwhile, would sidestep Dobson's estimated extension cost by signing Kyrou, who's already under contract at an affordable cap hit.

But as July 1 nears, the urgency increases for the Blues to act, and they have to weigh in on some big decisions that could define their roster for years to come.
