Description

1. Winnipeg trade: Now I don't think that Winnipeg moves Ehlers, no, but if they did, would this be enough? To me this seems like fair value.
2. St Louis Blues trade: To me this seems like an overpay by Montreal but I would be willing to do it to strengthen our LD now instead of 2 or 3 years from now. Blues get cap relief to sign their captain, as well as a serviceable player in Mete and a very good defensemen prospect in Struble. I really feel that the draft pick in this should be going to Montreal not from Montreal where they are Buying out Steen and taking the full salary from Allen, but I think getting Dunn is worth the overpay.

STL would be crazy not to make the second deal.

They need cap space to sign their Captain. That gives them that. I guess we will just have to agree to disagree.
