St. Louis Blues captain Brayden Schenn reportedly blocked a trade to the Maple Leafs ahead of Friday's trade deadline, but has since revealed why he did it.

Schenn, 33, has appeared in 61 games this season with the Blues, where he has 12 goals, 37 points, and 151 hits. The Blues captain is also signed until the completion of the 2027-28 season, carrying a $6.5 million cap hit.

Will Blues captain Brayden Schenn be traded, and if so, will it be to the Toronto Maple Leafs? Let's look at the fit and what it would cost.

NHL expert Mike Johnson identified center Fraser Minten as a likely trade piece if Toronto makes a move for St. Louis Blues captain Brayden Schenn. Johnson discussed the possibility on TSN's "First Up," noting that long-term contracts, like Schenn’s, are now seen as a positive due to cost control.

On a recent episode of TSN Insider Trading, Darren Dreger reported that a Schenn trade is less likely to occur with the Blues being back in the playoff race.

The Blues have one game left before the trade deadline and are in a precarious position after a recent run put them in playoff contention.
