Bring in Necas plus more

Created by: BluesReport18
Team: 2024-25 St. Louis Blues
Initial Creation Date: May 19, 2024
Published: May 19, 2024
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Necas is likely out this offseason. The Blues could give Necas the big minutes he's looking for and a chance to play center. Necas and Kyrou together could be insane with their speed and I would love to see that combo for a long time.

Trades
1.
STL
  1. Fast, Jesper
  2. Necas, Martin [RFA Rights]
  3. 2024 2nd round pick (CAR)
Additional Details:
Blues retain 50% on Buch and take back Fast to help Carolina sign Guentzel. Buch is a great fit with Carolina and Brindamour and I think this would be a sneaky good addition for them.

As for the Blues, they get younger and add more futures with the 2nd round pick.

The Blues extend Necas to an 8 year deal similar to what Owen Tippett just got.
CAR
  1. Buchnevich, Pavel ($2,900,000 retained)
2.
STL
  1. Bavaro, Drew
  2. 2024 5th round pick (BOS)
Additional Details:
Boston proved in the playoffs that they desperately need better center depth. I think Hayes would produce a lot better in their top 6 as opposed to the Blues bottom 6.

The Blues get a long shot RHD prospect and a late round pick. Trading Hayes opens up a spot for Dvorsky to play.
BOS
  1. Hayes, Kevin ($1,571,429 retained)
3.
STL
  1. Smith, Reilly
Additional Details:
Pittsburgh could use another puck moving dman and I think Krug would be a nice fit for them. I think moving Krug just comes down to him waiving his NTC which I believe he will be more inclined to do this offseason as opposed to last offseason. Krug also fits their window to win before Crosby retires.

The Blues take Smith who they could play in the top 6 for a year and then replace him with a younger player like Snuggerud.
PIT
  1. Krug, Torey ($3,250,000 retained)
4.
STL
  1. 2024 1st round pick (NJD)
Additional Details:
The Blues trade up to 10 to get one of the top dman prospects in the draft. Either Buium, Dickinson, or Silayev if they are there.
NJD
  1. 2024 1st round pick (STL)
  2. 2024 2nd round pick (TOR)
  3. 2024 3rd round pick (NYR)

Devils wouldn't be moving down if any of those D fall

We do not want Krug. Would rather have Leddy. We need a defensive defenseman who can skate

Blues would have to add for the Canes to take that.

Bruins don't need center depth, they have plenty of third line level centers. They need a first line center.

why would the penguins want Krug.
Smith contract ends this year and it's done. Krugs is 2 years of pain. Good luck with that. You got what you signed.
