The St. Louis Blues are undergoing a roster reset, and goaltender Jordan Binnington's future with the team is uncertain. With the team struggling below the playoff line, trade discussions may arise, especially if Binnington seeks a move to a contending team.

Meanwhile, the Chicago Blackhawks are looking to improve their roster while managing salary cap constraints. They have lowered Andreas Athanasiou's cap hit and are eyeing potential free-agent wingers to complement young star Connor Bedard.
