NHL fans are bracing for a major shake-up as former 50-point scorer Jonathan Drouin has been placed on waivers by the St. Louis Blues. The move comes as a surprise, given that Drouin was acquired by the Blues just last season as part of a trade with the New York Islanders that sent winger Brayden Schenn to the Islanders. The decision to put Drouin on waivers suggests that the team may be looking to buy out his contract, a move that could have significant implications for the Blues' salary cap and roster dynamics. With Drouin's waiver status now public, speculation is swirling about what this means for his future in the NHL and the Blues' plans for the upcoming season.
