The National Hockey League's trade deadline is ten days away and the action is expected to pick up very soon. One big name on the market that has been rumoured to move before March 3rd is San Jose Sharks forward Timo Meier.

Meier has been linked to several teams, but it sounds like the current front-runners are the Carolina Hurricanes and New Jersey Devils. Although, a lot can change over the next ten days.

According to Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff, a new team has entered the Timo Meier sweepstakes, the St. Louis Blues.

"A new team has entered the chat on Timo Meier and I'm told that is is the St. Louis Blues. That may be a surprise to some, but it shouldn't be. I'm told that the Blues have inquired with the San Jose Sharks earlier this week about Timo Meier after executing the trades for Vladimir Tarasenko and Ryan O'Reilly." Seravalli said.

After trading away O'Reilly and Tarasenko, the Blues have three first-round picks in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft that they could use to acquire Meier before March 3rd.

But this isn't the only big name the Blues have been linked to in the last few days. On Monday, Sportsnet's Jeff Marek mentioned that one of the teams that the Blues may be one of the team's in on Arizona Coyotes defenceman Jakob Chychrun.

Meier, 26, is set to become a restricted free agent this summer and has a qualifying offer of $10 million. So far this season, the Herisau (Switzerland) native has appeared in 57 games and is nearly a point-per-game player. In those 57 games, Meier has 52 points (31 goals, 21 assists), 25 penalty minutes and is a minus-19.
