St. Louis Blues defenseman Colton Parayko has invoked his no-movement clause to prevent a trade to the Buffalo Sabres, a league source confirmed to ESPN.

The Sabres had a trade agreement in place with the Blues to acquire Paryko but only if the defenseman waived his no-movement clause, sources had told ESPN on Wednesday.

Parayko, 32, is in the fourth year of an eight-year, $32 million contract. He recently competed for Team Canada at the Olympics and was a key member of St. Louis' 2019 Stanley Cup-winning team.
