Trades

MTL

Kyrou, Jordan

Additional Details:

I've heard the blues may look to move him before his full NTC kicks in on July 1st, 2025, especially if they intend on rebuilding. I like the idea of Kyrou more than Necas, Zegras, etc. because he's got a long-term deal at a reasonable cap hit for what he's capable of, and the cap certainty that comes with that contract

STL

Engström, Adam [Reserve List]
Harris, Jordan
Harvey-Pinard, Rafaël
Mesar, Filip
2024 1st round pick (WPG)
2025 1st round pick (CGY)
2025 2nd round pick (MTL)

Additional Details:

2 1sts (later 1sts but 1sts none the less), a 2nd, a former 1st (Mesar), 2 young depth players (RHP, Harris) and a former 3rd rounder (Engstrom).

Is this fair? If the blues reportedly wanted the equivalent of 2 1sts for Buchnevich then I think Kyrou would be a bit more, which I think this meets that criteria

If the blues trade Kyrou it will be for quality over quantity. Late 1sts won't mean much in trading Kyrou

"the blues reportedly wanted the equivalent of 2 1sts for Buchnevich ", yeah, and how did that go for them.

Gretzky was traded for 3x1st+. Kyrou isn't worth as much.

How does a player gets 73 points and yet finishes -38 amazes me, Montreal usually highly values two way players which is certainly not a force of Kyrou.
If I were Hughes I'd outwait the Blues because they get stuck with his NTC, I don't.

Both teams decline, end of story. MTL aren’t trading for a guy that makes more than Suzuki, and less effective, STL aren’t trading a young top 6 forward for a bunch of (?)
