ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Blues placed veteran forward Brandon Saad on waivers Tuesday with the intent of sending him to the minors.
He cleared Wednesday and will be assigned to Springfield of the American Hockey League. General manager Doug Armstrong said that was the plan if he wasn’t claimed. Saad has another year left on his contract at a salary cap hit of $4.5 million, which made it unlikely he was going anywhere but the AHL.
“That will open up some space for different players that I’d like to see get in the lineup and see where it goes,” Armstrong said, referring specifically to younger Alexandre Texier.
Saad, 32, has been held without a goal in 40 of his 43 games this season. He has a total of 16 points on seven goals and nine assists and was not garnering much, if any, trade interest around the league.
“Obviously, the production’s not there,” Armstrong said. “Right now the cap is tight, and obviously statistically he’s not having a great year and he’s got another year left. If we could find a match, we would try.”
The Blues are languishing on the edge of the Western Conference playoff race past the midway point of the season, five points back of the second and final wild-card spot. Armstrong made his first big move in November by firing Drew Bannister 22 games into being the full-time coach and hiring Jim Montgomery as his replacement.
St. Louis has gone 14-12-3 with Montgomery behind the bench. The organization is trying to build for the future but also attempt to win now, and there are plenty of questions about why that is not happening.
“I don’t know why our home record is under .500,” Armstrong said. “I don’t know whey we didn’t embrace the opportunity of a three-game homestand to make hay. But my job is to not react to it but to observe it and then say, ‘OK, well what do we need to do moving forward?’ Part of the retool is we’re finding out positives and negatives about a lot of different situations in our group.”
Saad is in his fourth season with the Blues. During the prime of his career, he helped Chicago win the Stanley Cup twice: in 2013 and 2015.
Putting him on waivers comes a day after trading defenseman Scott Perunovich to the New York Islanders for a conditional 2026 fifth-round pick.
“I talked to the coach over the last little while and he didn’t see a future to get him in the lineup here,” Armstrong said. “So, when an opportunity came to give him a chance to play and the Islanders were interested, it seemed like something that made sense for us to help him along, and wish him nothing but the best.”
Texier, 25, has three goals and eight points this season across just 24 games. Last season, appearing in 78 contests for the Columbus Blue Jackets, he had a career-high 12 goals and 30 points.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
The St. Louis Blues have placed forward Brandon Saad on waivers. The decision comes after Saad has struggled to find his offensive game this season, tallying just 4 goals and 6 assists in 33 games.
Saad, who was acquired by the Blues in a trade with the Colorado Avalanche in the offseason, has not lived up to expectations in St. Louis. The team is hoping that placing him on waivers will give Saad a chance to clear his mind and potentially find his scoring touch in the AHL.
It’s a tough move for the Blues to make, but they are hoping that it will ultimately benefit both Saad and the team in the long run. Stay tuned to see if any other teams claim the talented forward off waivers.

The team placed the veteran winger on waivers on Tuesday, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported. Saad is under contract for next season with a cap hit of $4.5 million.
Saad was a second-round pick by Chicago in the 2011 draft and spent parts of seven seasons with the team. In his 14-year NHL career, the 32-year-old has played 906 games and scored 260 goals while winning two Stanley Cups with the Blackhawks.
But in 43 games this season, Saad has just seven goals and nine assists. Outside of his two-game rookie campaign, Saad has never scored fewer than 10 goals in a season. He’s scored over 20 goals seven times in his career.
If the winger goes unclaimed, he will report to the Blues’ American Hockey League affiliate in Springfield. The NHL trade deadline is March 7.
The St. Louis Blues have placed two-time Stanley Cup champion Brandon Saad on waivers. Saad, who was acquired by the Blues in a trade with the Colorado Avalanche earlier this season, has struggled to find his scoring touch with his new team.
Saad, a veteran forward with a proven track record of success in the NHL, was expected to provide an offensive boost to the Blues lineup. However, he has only managed to tally 12 points in 33 games this season, falling short of expectations.
Placing Saad on waivers is a surprising move by the Blues, but it signals that they are willing to make changes in order to improve their roster. It remains to be seen whether Saad will be claimed by another team or if he will remain with the Blues.
Despite his recent struggles, Saad’s experience and championship pedigree make him an intriguing option for teams looking to add depth for a playoff run. It will be interesting to see how this situation unfolds in the coming days.
The St. Louis Blues placed veteran winger Brandon Saad on waivers Tuesday, shortly after general manager Doug Armstrong announced the move was coming.
Saad, 32, has seven goals and 16 points in 43 games this season and remains signed through next season at a cap hit of $4.5 million.
Armstrong said Saad will be assigned to the AHL should he clear waivers, which would give the Blues just over $1.1 million in salary cap relief.
“I talked to he and his representative. If he gets claimed, he’ll be on a new team,” Armstrong said. “If not, he’ll go down to play in Springfield. That will open up some space for different players that I’d like to see get in the lineup. So we’ll see where it goes.”
“There’s been a group that’s been here for a while and things don’t seem to be changing. Collectively you have to start chipping further and further up.”
A two-time Stanley Cup champion with the Chicago Blackhawks, Saad was listed on the first TSN Trade Bait board earlier this month.
He posted 26 goals and 42 points in 82 games last season. Over the course of 906 career games, Saad has 260 goals and 515 points.
Waiving Saad comes as he mired in a six-game point drought and nine-game goal drought. He saw 11:58 of ice time in Monday’s 5-2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks.
The Blues enter play Tuesday sitting five points back of the Calgary Flames for the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference with three more games played.
The St. Louis Blues have placed veteran forward Brandon Saad on waivers today. Saad, who was acquired by the team in a trade with the Colorado Avalanche in July, has struggled to find his scoring touch this season, recording just five goals and seven assists in 37 games.
The 29-year-old winger, who has played over 600 games in the NHL, has seen his ice time decrease in recent weeks as he has struggled to produce offensively. The Blues are hoping that placing Saad on waivers will give him a chance to reset and potentially find his game in the AHL.
It’s a surprising move for the Blues, who had high hopes for Saad when they acquired him in the offseason. However, with the team currently out of a playoff spot, they may be looking to shake things up and try to spark some more offense from their lineup.
It remains to be seen if any team will claim Saad off waivers, or if he will clear and be assigned to the Blues’ AHL affiliate. Regardless, it’s clear that the team is looking to make changes in order to get back on track in the second half of the season.

Now that Robert Saleh has been hired, he’ll need to figure out his staff. Brandon Staley will not be part of the plans moving forward.
Matt Maiocco from NBC Sports Bay Area gave an update Friday via his YouTube channel. While this was before the Saleh news became official, it seems like the writing is on the wall:
“I’m getting the impression that Brandon Staley, who was considered the only internal candidate for the 49ers’ defensive coordinator job— that’s what Shanahan said on the Wednesday after the season—I’m hearing that he probably will not be back with the 49ers.”
Maiocco went on to explain Robert Saleh will be the head coach of the defense. Staley was there to help former 49ers defensive coordinator Nick Sorensen gameplan, and I’d speculate it was to not let a first-time defensive coordinator get overwhelmed. Part of the reason Saleh was so coveted was because he wouldn’t need any handholding or Kyle Shanahan spending more time than necessary in meetings.
Again, I’ve brought this up before, but when he was head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers, the Las Vegas Raiderslaid college basketball numbers on them. The final score of the linked game above was 63-21, Raiders. Maybe he’s not much of a head coach, but given all the issues we’ve seen the 49ers have on defense with their talent, nothing like that sounds fun.
Over the next few days and weeks, we’ll see more of Saleh’s additions come into shape. I imagine most of the staff, including defensive line coach Kris Kocurek, will return. However, as KP said on Thursday, Sorensen will likely not return.
Steve Wilks was a hire I was left scratching my head on, but saw the logic. Sorensen was a hire I had to convince myself was good, primarily because of what happened to the 49ers defense under Wilks. Saleh, I’m nothing but optimistic. Yes, he might be gone in a year to be a head coach again, but hopefully, the 49ers have an understudy to work under him and prepare for that.
Plus, if Saleh does take a head coaching job in 2026, that means the 49ers’ defense was decent—or at least much better than their 2024 incarnation.
The San Francisco 49ers Coaching News has just taken an unexpected turn as it has been reported by Matt Maiocco that Brandon Staley will not be returning to the team. Staley, who served as the team’s defensive coordinator, was highly regarded for his work with the defense this past season.
This news comes as a surprise to many within the 49ers organization and the fanbase, as Staley was seen as a rising star in the coaching world. It remains to be seen who will take over the defensive coordinator duties for the team moving forward.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story as the 49ers look to fill this important coaching position for the upcoming season.

Williamson sat out Monday night’s victory over Utah with a non-COVID illness and New Orleans announced Thursday that he would remain out Friday “due to return to play reconditioning from illness.”
Williamson will miss his 35th game this season. He previously missed 27 games because of an early-November left hamstring strain.
He has played in just 10 games, most recently in the Pelicans’ victory over the Jazz on Friday, scoring 24 points and grabbing 14 rebounds in less than 24 minutes.
Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (left ankle sprain) also won’t play at Memphis, missing his 21st straight game.
The New Orleans Pelicans have announced that both Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram will be ruled out for their upcoming game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This news comes as a blow to the Pelicans, as both players have been key contributors to the team this season.
Williamson, who is currently dealing with a foot injury, will miss his second consecutive game. The young superstar has been averaging 27.0 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game this season.
Ingram, on the other hand, is sidelined with a hamstring injury. The forward has been averaging 23.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game this season.
Without two of their top players, the Pelicans will need to rely on their depth to step up and fill the void left by Williamson and Ingram. It will be a tough challenge for New Orleans as they look to secure a victory against the Grizzlies.
Fans will be eagerly awaiting the return of Williamson and Ingram as they continue to recover from their respective injuries. In the meantime, the Pelicans will need to rally together and put forth a strong effort in their upcoming matchup against Memphis.
“It’s one of those bittersweet things where you’re happy for the victory, but unfortunate news on Brandon,” Hornets coach Charles Lee said after Friday’s game.
Miller, a 2023 first-round pick out of Alabama, finishes his sophomore season averaging 21 points, 3.6 assists, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game. He had missed six games earlier this season with a left ankle sprain.
Injuries have been a significant obstacle for the Hornets this season, contributing to an 11-29 record that’s the third-worst in the Eastern Conference.
The Charlotte Hornets have announced that guard Brandon Miller will be out for the remainder of the season after undergoing surgery to repair a ligament in his wrist. Miller suffered the injury during a recent game and opted to undergo surgery to fully repair the damage.
This news comes as a blow to the Hornets, as Miller has been a key player for the team this season, averaging double-digit points and providing solid defense on the court. His absence will surely be felt as the team looks to make a playoff push.
We wish Brandon Miller a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him back on the court next season. In the meantime, the Hornets will need to rely on their depth and resilience to fill the void left by Miller’s absence. #GetWellSoonBrandon #CharlotteHornets.
JAN. 21: BRANDON BROWN COMPLETES IN-PERSON INTERVIEW WITH RAIDERS. New York Giants assistant general manager Brandon Brown completed his in-person interview for the Las Vegas Raiders general manager vacancy on Monday,per CBS insider Jonathan Jones.
Brown previously had a virtual interview with the Raiders, who are conducting a thorough search for a head coach and a general manager after moving on from Antonio Pierce and Tom Telsco, respectively, in those roles.
Brown has been with the Giants since 2022, hired shortly after Joe Schoen was announced as its general manager.
JAN. 20. MIKE KAFKA GETS SECOND INTERVIEW FOR SAINTS HC JOB. New York Giants assistant head coach/offensive coordinator Mike Kafka is getting a second interview with the New Orleans Saints for their head coaching vacancy,NFL Network reporter Tom Pelissero reported.
Kafka, who completed a virtual interview with the Saints earlier this month, is headed to New Orleans to discuss the position and his vision for the franchise in more detail.
Kafka has been sought after for previous head coaching vacancies. In 2022, he was reportedly a finalist for the Arizona Carindlas job that went to Jonathan Gannon. During that cycle, Kafka also reportedly drew interest from Carolina and Indianapolis.
Last year, Kafka reportedly had interest from Seattle for their head coaching vacancy that went to Mike Macdonald. After hiring Macdonald, the Seahawks were also said to have wanted to speak with Kafka about their offensive coordinator role, but the Giants blocked that request.
Instead, the Giants, who stripped Kafka of the play-calling duties this year, reportedly gave him a pay raise and added the “assistant head coach” role to his job duties.
In the process, Kafka also received at least another year on his contract, confirming to reporters earlier this month that he was under contract with the team for the 2025 campaign.
JAN. 18. REPORT: GIANTS AGM BRANDON BROWN TO INTERVIEW IN-PERSON WITH RAIDERS ON MONDAY. New York Giants assistant general manager Brandon Brown, who reportedly has been sought by the Las Vegas Raiders for theirvacant general manager position, is scheduled to have an in-person interview with the Raiders on Monday, according to FOX Sports insider Jordan Schultz.
Schultz added that Brown already had a virtual interview with the Raiders.
The Raiders, who have been conducting their head coach and general manager search simultaneously after dismissing Antonio Pierce and Tom Telesco from their respective posts, have cast a wide net for the general manager position.
Among the candidates they havereportedly met with or have expressed interest in speaking with for the general manager post are Jon-Eric Sullivan (Packers), Jon Spytek (Bucs), Sheldon White (Steelers, also a one-time Giants defensive back), and Chad Alexander (Chargers).
Unlike some other teams currently conducting general manager and/or head coaching searches, the Raiders have not confirmed whom they have spoken with for either of their openings.
JAN. 17. REPORT: GIANTS EYEING JETS ASSISTANT COACH TO FILL D-BACKS COACHING ROLE. The New York Giants, who this week parted ways with defensive backs coaches Jerome Henderson and safeties coach Michael Treir, are reportedly interested in speaking with New York Jets safeties coach Marquand Manuel to fill one of those vacancies.
Manuel, 45 years old, is a former NFL defensive back, having entered the league in 2002 with the Cincinnati Bengals, who selected him in the sixth round of that year’s draft.
Manuel also played for Seattle, Green Bay, Carolina, Denver and Detroit before finally calling it a career after the 2009 season.
He began his coaching career as an intern with Florida, his alma mater, in 2011. From there he went to the NFL, making spots with Seattle (with whom he was part of a Super Bowl championship), Atlanta, Philadelphia, and the Jets, with whom he’s been since the 2021 season.
As a player, Manuel appeared in 116 games with 58 starts. He logged 368 tackles, two quarterback hits, one sack, 16 pass breakups, two interceptions, and one defensive touchdown.
Manuel served as the Falcons defensive coordinator under head coach Dan Quinn during the 2017-2018 seasons.
JAN. 15. GIANTS QUIETLY TWEAKING S&C, ASSISTANT COACHING STAFF. The New York Giants might not be making any significant changes among their coaching staff, but that doesn’t mean some moves haven’t already occurred.
According to the team’s website, defensive assistant Ben Burress, director of strength and conditioning Frank Piraino, and director of sports and performance nutrition Steve Smith are no longer listed in their respective roles.
Burress as an offensive assistant. He then spent the next three seasons as a football data and innovation research analyst before returning to a more coaching role, this time as a defensive assistant, in 2023, a role he also held last year.
Burress temporarily replaced outside linebacker Charlie Bullen earlier in the season when he was sidelined after suffering a broken leg that required surgery. Bullen didn’t make the trip to the team’s Week 2 game against Washington, so Burress served as the outside linebackers coach in his place.
Burress is reportedly taking an offensive assistant role with the University of South Carolina.
Piraino, hired last year after five seasons with the Titans and then head coach Mike Vrabel, is reportedly joining Vrabel in New England in a similar role.
Smith was hired by the Giants in 2020 after Pratik Patel, the team’s previous director of nutrition and assistant strength and conditioning coach, left the organization. It’s unclear if he has another role lined up at this time.
JAN.13: GIANTS LOSE KEY FRONT OFFICE EXECUTIVE TO PATRIOTS. AsCharles Robinson of Yahoo first reported over the weekend and confirmed bySI’s own Albert Breer, New York Giants executive advisor to the general manager Ryan Cowden is joining Mike Vrabel with the New England Patriots.
Cowden, who worked with Vrabel in Tennessee with the Titans, interviewed with the Giants in 2022 for their general manager position that ultimately went to Joe Schoen.
Schoen hired Cowden in 2023 to serve as an advisor.
During his time with the Titans (2016 to 2022), Cowden served as director of player personnel, vice president of player personnel, and interim general manager in 2022.
Before working with the Titans, Cowden and Schoen were colleagues in the Carolina Panthers scouting department.
Cowden’s new position with the Patriots isn’t yet known. He will work under Eliot Wolf, the Patriots’ executive vice president of player personnel, who is believed to be the highest-ranking personnel figure in the Patriots organization.
JAN. 7. GIANTS CO-OWNER JOHN MARA HAS SURPRISING REACTION TO SAQUON BARKELY’S SLEEP-AID AD. New York Giants co-owner John Mara wasn’t too happy with the new Unisom sleep-aid ad done by former running back Saquon Barkley, but not for the reason you think.
The ad, which thinly referenced Mara’s now-viral comments about not being able to sleep at night if Barkley signed with the Eagles, appeared on the running back’s Instagram account a couple of days ago. (Barkley had the script re-written as he reportedly felt the original version cut too close to the bone.)
John Mara called Saquon Barkley and jokingly said he was “very upset” with the commercial that Barkley did, as he wanted to be featured:
Mara, the uncle to actresses Kate Mara (House of Cards, We Are Marshall) and Rooney Mara (The Girl With the Dragon Tatoo), didn’t seem to mind the reference from Barkley in the ad, but he did take some playful offense that he wasn’t invited to participate in the ad, telling reporters, “There’s an acting gene in my family; it’s not just my nieces.”
JAN. 6: MIKE KAFKA DRAWS INTERVIEW REQUEST FROM BEARS, SAINTS. According to the NFL Network, the Chicago Bears have requested the New York Giants’ permission to interview assistant head coach/offensive coordinator Mike Kafka for their head coaching vacancy.
Kafka, a Chicago area native and former NFL quarterback, played high school football at St. Rita in Chicago and college football at Northwestern University.
In addition to the Bears, The New Orleans Saints have also requested permission to speak to KAfka about their head coaching vacancy, reports NFL insider Josina Anderson.
A 2010 fourth-round pick by the Philadelphia Eagles, Kafka has been steadily in demand for head coaching vacancies, even though the last two seasons have seen the Giants’ offense hover at or near the bottom of the league in every major statistical category.
Kafka had the play-calling duties taken away from him at times in 2023 before losing it altogether in 2024 when head coach Brian Daboll elected to take on the responsibilities himself.
Under Daboll, however, the Giants’ offense was no better and, in some categories, even worse. In his discussion with team president and COO John Mara, the topic of play calling was one that Mara said was discussed and one that Daboll said he would rethink moving forward.
Next. John Mara on Why Daboll, Schoen Stay. John Mara Explains Why Giants are Sticking with Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen. dark
Kafka, who told reporters last week that he was under contract to the team for 2025 and that he didn’t want to speculate about his future, had an opportunity to interview for a lateral move last offseason with the Seahawks after missing out on head coaching jobs, but the Giants denied permission.
Seattle ended up hiring Ryan Grubb as its offensive coordinator, whom they fired on Monday after the Seahawks failed to make the postseason.
JAN. 3: SAQUON PLAYFULLY TROLLS GIANTS IN NEW AD. Former New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley has a solution for anyone who bleeds Giants blue and might still be having sleepless nights about his joining the Philadelphia Eagles in the offseason.
At least that’s what he admits to in a new commercial for Unisom, which Barkley posted on his Instagram account.
As is now known, Barkley, who obviosuly didn’t write the commerical or the jingle, not only signed with the Eagles, but he posted a career-best 2,000-yard rushing campaign, coming up just 101 yards shy of breaking the NFL single-season rushing record set by Eric Dickerson in 1984.
Meanwhile, the Giants saw their 100th season implode thanks to inconsistent quarterback play, injuries, questionable coaching, and, some would argue, Barkley’s deflection to the Eagles.
So Barkley’s solution for anyone still losing sleep over his signing with the 2024 NFC East Champs is to try the over-the-counter product.
“I heard some of you were having trouble sleeping, so I wrote you a lullaby,” said Barkley.
“Rockabye baby awake in your bed as the thought of 2,000 swirls in your head. It sure is tough to lose sleep over football; not for me, though. Goodnight to you all.”
And if that didn’t work?
“Try counting sheep,” Barkley said, as images of lambs with his face superimposed on the animal’s head repeatedly jump over a fence.
Barkley is not expected to play in the Eagles’ Week 18 regular-season finale when Philadelphia hosts the Giants.
The San Francisco Giants Assistant General Manager, Brandon Brown, recently completed an in-person interview with the Las Vegas Raiders for their vacant General Manager position. Brown, who has been with the Giants organization for over a decade, is highly regarded for his expertise in player development and analytics.
The Raiders are looking to fill the position after the departure of former GM Mike Mayock. Brown’s interview with the Raiders is a testament to his reputation within the industry and his potential as a future front office leader.
While Brown remains committed to the Giants, this interview represents a significant opportunity for him to potentially take on a new challenge in the NFL. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
The Raiders will move their search for a new General Manager to a new stage on Monday.
According to multiple reports, the team will hold second interviews with Giants assistant G.M. Brandon Brown and Chargers assistant G.M. Chad Alexander on Monday. Both interviews will take place in person after both men met with the Raiders remotely the first time.
Brown is in his third season with the Giants and he spent five years with the Eagles before jumping to their divisional rival. Alexander just finished his first season with the Chargers and previously worked for the Jets and Ravens.
Commanders assistant G.M. Lance Newmark had his first interview with the Raiders on Sunday.
The Las Vegas Raiders are set to conduct second interviews for their vacant general manager position with Brandon Brown and Chad Alexander.
Both Brown and Alexander have impressed the Raiders’ leadership during their initial interviews and are now being given the opportunity to further showcase their qualifications and vision for the team.
Brown currently serves as the director of player personnel for the Philadelphia Eagles, while Alexander is the director of player personnel for the Indianapolis Colts.
The Raiders are looking to fill the general manager position following the departure of Mike Mayock earlier this month. The team is hopeful that either Brown or Alexander will be able to step in and help lead the franchise to success in the coming seasons.
Stay tuned for updates on the Raiders’ general manager search as the team continues its evaluation of potential candidates.
