Description
Blues 1st 3 lines stay the same. 4th line goes from Clifford/Barbashev/Sundqvist to Clifford/Sundqvist/Kostin

Blues get help with their RHD. With Ruthwedel, a 3rd pairing, or 7th D. And a 2nd round pick.

Blues 3rd line is still Sanford/Bozak/Blais. They make room for Kostin on the 4th line RW and Sundqvist is a better 4th line Center than Barbashev. And make room for when Tarasenko comes back. Kyrou needs a change of scenery and they get a 2nd round pick for him. And help on there RHD and some cap room for Barbashev.

Pens get more of a offensive 3C In Barbashev. Janko moves to the LW on the shut down, defensive 4th line. Janko now the 3C back-up plan if Barbashev doesn’t work out. Kyrou and E-Rod fight it out for the 3rd line RW.

Maniscalco wins the 3rd pairing RHD in camp. Matheson/Maniscalco is a good 3rd paring. Manisclaco is apart of our future. Ceci and Ruthwedel arnt. Even though Ruthwedel has played well and gives us good depth on the right-side. Rikkola and Ceci are still on the roster and can play the RHD in case of an injury.

Both Barbashev and Kyrou are RFA after this year. If they don’t work out, Pens can let them walk.

I'd say you can't be serious, but then you wrote out such a lengthy explanation. The Blues would obviously not be even remotely interested in this.

Blues would have no interest in this. This would only make Pens better. Penguins are my second favorite team and I still wouldn't make that trade. If your looking for someone in your top 9 Blues would happily give up Sanford for a 2nd round pick.

Ok, I guess the 2nd round pick has no value. Blues are weak on RHD. Ruthwedel is good RHD 3rd pairing on a play-off team or NHL defensive depth.

Kyrou is a bust so far. Last season he will even get close to a 2nd round pick if he doesn’t produce. And Barbashev is a bad option at 4C IMO. On a checking line. Good luck with that.

I’m not even sure about him as a 3C. The selling point was both them being RFA after this season and both could walk if they produce the same as they have been.


Copy and paste..

“It's quite a luxury to have a defenseman like Ruhwedel to rely on throughout the course of a season, as he keeps himself in great shape and is always game ready. The 2017 Stanley Cup Champion appeared in 41 contests last season with the Penguins, his second-highest total with Pittsburgh. All in all, he's dressed in 137 total games for the Penguins. When he's in the lineup, Ruhwedel brings a simple approach and uses his skating to his advantage.

The kind of player that helps teams win Stanley Cups. The players fans say are “meh”. But the players and depth u need on a play-off, Stanley cup team. Not Kyrou.

It’s why I’m not a GM and neither are either of u. Cause I would do this deal and U guys think it’s not close. Trading Ruhwedel, a solid depth NHL RHD. That teams need to win a SC for Kyrou and his upside. And he’ll bust out in 2 years and Rutwedel will have another SC and be 32 years old and still making 750k a year and have a roster spot on a play-off team.

I always find it funny when ACGM's trash players they are trying to add to their team.....You say we are weak on RHD but we feel confident with Parayko as our #1 RHD. Sure Faulk didn't have a great year but he is not going anywhere and Bortuzzo is exactly what we need in a pair with Vince Dunn.

Right. It’s exacly why I’m not a GM and neither r u. Cause I would do this deal and U think it’s not close. And I wouldn’t mind trading Ruhwedel; The kind of player that helps teams win Stanley Cups. The players fans say are “meh”. But the players and depth u need on a play-off, Stanley cup team. Not Kyrou.
