Description

Blues turn the page and begin building off of their vets who will help a number of teams.

Trades

STL

Barrie, Tyson
Broberg, Philip
Lavoie, Raphael
Puljujärvi, Jesse
2023 1st round pick (EDM)
2023 2nd round pick (EDM)

EDM

Additional Details:

Here's your chance Edmonton. It's expensive but McDavid and Draisaitl aren't getting younger. Blues do you a favor and eat Barrie's contract for you.

STL

Kerfoot, Alexander
Knies, Matthew [Reserve List]
Kokkonen, Mikko
2023 1st round pick (TOR)
2023 3rd round pick (OTT)

TOR

Mikkola, Niko
O'Reilly, Ryan ($3,000,000 retained)

Additional Details:

Here's your playoff anchor and your defensive upgrade, Toronto. If you can't do it after this...

STL

Blackwood, Mackenzie
Nemec, Simon
2023 1st round pick (NJD)

NJD

Additional Details:

You guys are good, but are you willing to trust Vanacek in the playoffs? You know Blackwood isn't the guy. Binnington plays incredible during the playoffs and Acciari and Leivo give you needed depth and versatility for a deep playoff push.

STL

Blais, Samuel
Othmann, Brennan
2023 1st round pick (DAL)

NYR

Tarasenko, Vladimir ($3,000,000 retained)

Additional Details:

Here's your 5 on 5 scoring you are missing. You also get the added benefit of knowing there's a great chance Tarasenko will re-sign to play with Panarin. It will be hard to part with Othmann, but are you willing to watch the Stanley Cup Finals from home again? Heck, we'll even take Sammy Blais back.

Easiest NO THANKS ever for Drury, Othmann is not available, period. And Tarasenko would be a pure rental for the Rangers, so maybe you get Blais and the 1st round pick, max.
