Colton Parayko Blocks Trade to Sabres, Targets Western Move

St. Louis Blues defenseman Colton Parayko has invoked his full no-trade clause to block a proposed deal to the Buffalo Sabres. The 32-year-old, under contract through 2030, is prioritizing a move to the Western Conference, specifically targeting the Los Angeles Kings or Anaheim Ducks. Parayko has recorded 14 points in 58 games this season while currently sidelined with back spasms, a situation that has provided increased ice time for younger teammates.
