The St. Louis Blues benched forward Jordan Kyrou, whos struggling this season, despite his no-trade clause. Kyrou, 27, has four goals and four assists in 14 games, with a minus-eight rating. The Blues won 3-0 against the Buffalo Sabres in his absence, improving to 5-8-2. Kyrous performance last season earned him a top-six talent status, making him valuable to teams like the New York Islanders, who could use his playing style to build a faster, more dynamic team. The Islanders have salary cap flexibility to acquire Kyrou, potentially by placing players on long-term injured reserve.
