St. Louis Blues GM Doug Armstrong has made significant roster changes, terminating Brandon Saad's contract and trading Scott Perunovich to the New York Islanders. Saad, having struggled this season with only seven goals in 43 games, will now become a UFA and can sign with any team before the trade deadline to be postseason eligible. Potential suitors for Saad may include the Colorado Avalanche and Boston Bruins, among others. Meanwhile, the Islanders are contemplating trades involving Brock Nelson and Kyle Palmieri, both of whom are UFA-eligible this summer. As the Islanders push for a playoff spot, they may hesitate to part with key players. The New York Rangers are also in the playoff hunt, raising questions about their trade strategy, particularly regarding defenseman Ryan Lindgren.
