NHL Rumors: Could Brayden Schenn and Jordan Kyrou Shake Up the St. Louis Blues’ Future?

When a team like the St. Louis Blues finds itself at a crossroads early in the season, weighing the possibility of shaking up the roster becomes an almost automatic reflex. The talk around the water cooler—and trust me, it’s buzzing—is whether Brayden Schenn might be the more logical piece to move, compared to Jordan Kyrou. Given the age dynamics and that ever-elusive market for centermen, Schenn’s name keeps popping up as the likely candidate if the Blues decide to press the reset button. It’s not just a hunch; it’s a perspective shaped by the thin options out there for quality centers and the fact that this season’s been anything but forgiving for St. Louis. The conversations suggest Kyrou, with his blend of experience and prime-year potential, could well be the cornerstone for whatever rebuild or retooling lies ahead—meaning Schenn might just be the guy with a ticket out the door.

If the St. Louis Blues are looking to make a big move, Brayden Schenn over Jordan Kyrou may make more sense

B/R Open Ice: If the St. Louis Blues are looking to make a big move, moving Brayden Schenn over Jordan Kyrou could make more sense given their ages and the market for centermen.

“Please tell me, the Kyrou trade won’t look like the TJ Oshie trade from a decade ago?

I’m here to tell you, I don’t think Kyrou is the first out the door. Could be wrong, but I would think that based on the way this season has gone, based on how thin the center market is, and based on the number of teams that were involved last year, that my guess would be that Brayden Schenn would be the first guy out the door for the St Louis Blues if they do end up making a move.

NHL Rumors: Anaheim Ducks, Calgary Flames, Detroit Red Wings, and the Edmonton Oilers

We know that Doug Armstrong has an itchy trigger finger on the best of days. And with this start to the blues season, the unacceptable start to their season, after entering the year with some expectations, the thought process would be that changes would be a foot.

I think the Kyrou deal is a lot harder of a trade to make. And I also think if you are retooling or re-spooling things up, however, you’re reinventing whatever R word you want to use for the St Louis Blues. At this age, Kyrou kind of seems to fit both sides of it. So he could be the vet for the next group of players. Relatively in the prime of his career that I don’t know that he’s the first guy that you’d want to move out, as you reimagine what that looks like.”
