St. Louis, MO, September 27, 2026 —

The St. Louis Blues have initiated roster moves by placing a defenseman and a goaltender on NHL waivers. This action signifies a procedural step in player management within the National Hockey League.

Waivering a player means that the team is making that player available to all other NHL teams. If another team claims the player off waivers, they would then be added to that team’s roster. If no team claims the player, they typically return to their previous team’s system, often being assigned to an American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate. The specific timelines for waiver claims and the subsequent status of these players are governed by NHL rules.

The St. Louis Blues organization has not provided specific names for the defenseman and goaltender placed on waivers. Consequently, details such as the players’ contract statuses, their performance history with the team, or the precise reasons for their placement on waivers were not made public. The duration of the waiver claim period was also not specified in the available information.

Further details regarding the players, including their identities, any subsequent team claims, or decisions made by the Blues organization should the players go unclaimed, are pending. The outcome of these waiver placements will become clearer as the NHL’s waiver wire process unfolds.
