One of the headlines that stole the 2026 NHL Trade Deadline was the potential availability of St. Louis Blues center Robert Thomas.

New York Rangers forward Vincent Trocheck was one of the top players available ahead of the 2026 NHL Trade Deadline, but despite a sellers market, general manager Chris Drury did not move the veteran center before Friday at 3 p.m. ET.
