The Winnipeg Jets are gearing up for an important offseason as they aim to re-sign defenseman Neal Pionk, who has expressed a desire to stay in the city. With one year left on Luke Schenn's contract at $2.75 million, the Jets are also keen to retain him. While Pionk's defensive performance raises some doubt, his chemistry with Dylan Samberg has been beneficial, strengthening his case for a new deal. Meanwhile, the St. Louis Blues face crucial decisions regarding veterans Nick Leddy and Justin Faulk, as they navigate potential roster changes and seek to add more scoring depth.

The Blues are poised to assess their prospects, including Zack Bolduc and Jimmy Snuggerud, before making any major moves. Decisions surrounding Brayden Schenn's no-trade clause and the financial feasibility of acquiring players like Mitch Marner also loom large. Additionally, players like Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway are projected to seek significant long-term extensions. The offseason will be pivotal for both franchises as they aim to enhance their respective rosters.
