Description

Buffalo deal gives them an elite top pairing of Dahlin and Parayko. Parayko's shutdown D gives Dahlin more offensive freedom. Blues get a guy with Top 4 potential and a pick to give them another top prospect, hopefully Holtz or Rossi is there at 8.

The Granlund signing is one I've gone back and forth on. He seems to always play well against the Blues and I remember him being a hell of a player with Minnesota. I hope he signs a short deal betting on himself to get a bigger deal when the cap rises again. An alternate could be Galchenyuk or Soderberg, preferibly someone who costs less than 5 mil.
