I don't get this. Did you say 6.5M x 3 is better than 4.75M x 2?

Always liked krug and contracts aside I just think Chairot is more of a need on our blueline right now than krug in Detroit

I’m saying regarding Krugs contract it will be easier to move with 3 years left instead of 4 like the guy originally said. After next season it then moves to a Modified clause. Armstrong already had a deal with Philly last offseason with Philly for Sanheim. Not like he will be unmovable forever imo.

I was not meaning Krug is easier to trade than Chiarot or anything like that

Right on I was meaning heavier, meaner tougher on pucks with Perron we know what him and Maroon can bring. Adding those two with Zadorov, Frederic and Chiarot would bring a much different look. Would hate to trade Buch and Torpo in this scenario but is what it is

I understand.

But yeah, been down this Krug hole alot. Doesn't make sense for us with where we are, unless like I said significant compensation which the Blues aren't or at least shouldn't be willing to do.

I think the Blues are going to have a couple transition years. Ride out the few years left of Krug, Leddy, Saad (not saying he's bad). Stockpile some decent picks and prospects. Trade Buch for a decent haul. Then inject the youth and this team should be good again in a few years.
I think the next few years are going to be similar to this year. Fringe playoff team but not bad enough to get a top pick.

Sabres not looking to rent Buchnevich
And we have to pay Byram & Quinn & Peterka after next season, so a long term deal for him isn’t really possible for us

Pretty much spot on

Hard intractable pass.
