NHL rumors: Blues’ Jordan Kyrou could waive no-trade clause to join Islanders

The future of Jordan Kyrou in St. Louis continues to generate speculation, and the New York Islanders are emerging as a team to watch for the star forward.

The 27-year-old has been one of the St. Louis Blues’ most productive offensive players over the last several seasons, but multiple reports suggest trade discussions involving Kyrou have continued into the offseason as St. Louis evaluates its roster.

The Islanders have re-engaged in conversations with the Blues regarding the talented winger, according to a recent report from The Hockey News’ Stefen Rosner.

“The three-time 30-goal scorer appears to be a player who could benefit from a change of scenery,” Rosner wrote.

“I’m told the Islanders are one of the teams that have re-engaged in trade talks, with conversations ongoing for some time now.”

The report also indicated that New York is not the only club showing interest.

“I believe the Edmonton Oilers, Anaheim Ducks, and Seattle Kraken have spoken with St. Louis recently.”

Kyrou has developed into one of the league’s more dangerous offensive threats, recording three 30-goal seasons while using his elite skating ability to create consistent scoring chances. He did have a down season in 2025-26, managing just 46 points in 72 games.

He remains under contract through 2030-31 at a cap hit just over $8 million, and is still viewed as a player who could immediately upgrade the top-six of several teams around the league.

Kyrou possesses a no-trade clause, but that reportedly may not be an obstacle if New York emerges as a serious destination.

“It’s also believed that Kyrou would waive his no-trade clause to join the Islanders, which is notable considering there was little indication he had any interest in moving during the season,” Rosner added.

The Islanders have been searching for additional offensive firepower after another disappointing campaign that saw the franchise miss out on the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Kyrou would instantly become one of the most dynamic forwards on the roster. His speed and scoring ability would address a need that has existed for several years on Long Island — especially with Mat Barzal reportedly emerging as a trade candidate himself.

For the Blues, moving Kyrou would represent a significant organizational decision, as he was drafted 35th overall by the franchise back in 2016 and has spent his entire NHL career in St. Louis.

Although he remains one of the team’s top offensive players as of now, a trade could allow St. Louis to reshape its roster and acquire assets that better fit the long-term vision of the franchise.
