If it means losing Dunn, Thomas, a first and effectively Schwartz, I don’t know. This offer is just based on what I believe Buffalo would ask.

not in my opinion. LA and NYR can easily beat that offer so Blues would have to overpay greatly

2 first round picks Kostin Sanford and a few other piece would be the top offer Blues would give out. So I don't blues get him anyway.

Eichel would cost equivalent to 4 1st round picks, You're not even in the ballpark. Quite a few team would blow this offer away.

That's the asking price. Whether they get that is another question. Likely will, but it won't be the equivalent of 4 top 10 first value like people say. They trade above is 3 1st round value players.

Backes is retiring and the Blues shouldn't add more age to their lineup. They should focus on adding speed and toughness.
