Buffalo Sabres are set to acquire defenseman Colton Parayko from the St. Louis Blues, pending a no-movement clause waiver. The deal, first reported by TSN, hinges on Parayko’s approval. The 32-year-old is in the fourth year of an eight-year, $32 million contract and adds significant playoff experience after winning the Stanley Cup with St. Louis in 2019.
Buffalo, aiming to break a 14-year playoff drought, currently sits second in the Atlantic Division and boasts the NHL’s best record since December at 23-5-2 under GM Jarmo Kekalainen. The Sabres seek a right-shot defenseman, a hot commodity ahead of the trade deadline.
As the Blues face a likely playoff miss, GM Doug Armstrong remains active in trade talks involving several veterans, including goalie Jordan Binnington and forwards Robert Thomas and Jordan Kyrou.
