Deadline Drama: Which Seven NHL Teams Are Racing Against Time to Shake Up Their Rosters?

• Robert Thomas (full no-trade clause): I would keep him unless a team massively overpays for him with a can’t-refuse offer. First-line centers don’t grow on trees, and at 26, Thomas is still young enough to be part of the Blues’ long-term future.
• Jordan Binnington (14-team no-trade list): He’s probably not worth much right now, considering his brutal season and sizeable $6 million cap hit. I would hold onto him and hope he can rebuild his trade value, as Tristan Jarry did. Binnington’s contract expires at the end of next season, so if he bounces back, he could become a significantly more valuable trade chip at next year’s deadline as a rental, especially if the Blues retain salary on him.
