Rumours persist that perhaps the Oilers might be trading for RD Colton Parayko. As I’m sure we’re all aware by now, the Blues had a terrible season last year, finishing 23rd in the league and sixth in the Central division – only Arizona and Chicago, two prominent lottery teams – finished worse in the division than St. Louis.
Trading Vladimir Tarasenko to the Rangers and Ryan O’Reilly to the Leafs around the deadline shows an obvious wish to rebuild the team.
The Oilers haven’t poached anyone significant from the Blues yet – unless you count Klim Kostin as significant which I don’t.
