Description

What does it take to get Keller? We need to move out $6.5M in cap space. I can see the Blues trade Buchnevich to either Arizona or somewhere else for assets used in this trade. Someone like Neighbours or Bolduc would go to Arizona too.

Something along the lines of this:

STL receives: Keller

ARI receives: Neighbours/Bolduc, 1st round pick, assets from Buchnevich deal

I don't know the Blues prospect system as well but the start would be a first with Neighbours.

I just don’t know if Arizona would want that? I’m sure it could be close to a 1 for 1 at that point. But I think Arizona would want more asset based stuff for Keller. And before you try and say it… it won’t be Thomas or Kyrou ++ for Keller.

We don't. We have no reason to yet. Aside from him being a local guy i'm not sure why we'd want him. I know he's a fantastic player, but we shouldn't be spending future assets yet unless it's a top end LD coming back. I certainly wouldn't trade that 24 1st yet.

Thinking lottery protected first with Neighbours, maybe a LD like Buchinger or Loof since we drafted like 4 of them this year. Then we gotta move out cap and maybe Buchnevich is the answer.
