Reports: Blues Trade Away F Brayden Schenn, D Justin Faulk

On Friday, Detroit Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman acquired veteran defenseman Justin Faulk from the St. Louis Blues for Justin Holl, Dmitri Buchelnikov and Detroit's 2026 first- and a 2026 third-round pick.
Facing a defensive shortfall, the team added Faulk to address its biggest need, planning to pair him on the second line opposite Ben Chiarot to bolster the Red Wings' defense corps.
Faulk's résumé shows 1,041 games, 141 goals, 349 assists, plus 11 goals and 21 assists in 61 games this season with a $6.5 million cap hit and one year remaining.
As a result, Detroit parted with Justin Holl, who had 14 points, carries a $2.25 million cap hit, and will be an unrestricted free agent, affecting roster and contract planning.
Following Thursday, the Red Wings acquired veteran defenseman Justin Faulk, who is expected to replace rookie Alex Sandin-Pellikka, who will move to the third pairing with Albert Johansson.
