Around the NHL: Blues actively discussing trades, Predators fire sale coming?

"Blues general manager Doug Armstrong has been doing a bunch of travelling recently as he's evaluating potential players for Team Canada's Olympic team, but what it's also given Armstrong a chance to do, is chat with other GM's from around the league about players available on the Blues. According to multiple reports, including from hockey insider Frank Seravalli, the Blues are open for business."

"Head coach Jim Montgomery recently healthy scratched Jordan Kyrou, which turned some heads around the league. Kyrou is signed through the 2030-31 season at $8.12 million AAV, and after sitting out one game, scored in his return.

Kyrou's been in the middle of trade talks before, and was rumored to be almost dealt to the Seattle Kraken at the last NHL Draft."

Macklin Celebrini, Connor Bedard and Leo Carlsson are among the NHL's top scorers, with Nathan MacKinnon leading the league. The Montreal Canadiens lead the Atlantic Division at 10-3-2, while the Calgary Flames struggle offensively at 4-11-2 after a shutout loss to the Minnesota Wild.
