Description

Lucic at half price is tradeable and could be Babcock's new Holmstrom. If JT and Marner can't revive his career, maybe Matthews can.
St Louis fans will want more youth but you're a win now team.
If anyone gets traded for a D I believe Kadri is the man. He is a fan favorite but they'll get over it. Moving Nylander into the middle opens up a spot for Bracco and allows the bff's to play on the same line.
M & M like less term for a bigger UFA payday and all is well in Leafland.

Chirp away.

And conceivably, these deals could all get done this year.

You should at least take the Blues out to dinner before you try to rear-end them like this.

Add liljegren and a 2nd?

To be honest I’m not sure when this trade goes down. If this is a TDL move it is okay as is. It is a 19/20 agm.

He does make mention that it could be this year so that’s what I think the add would be for this season.

STL says no, Carolina probably says no. If McDavid couldn't revive Lucic's career I don't think anyone on the Leafs will be able to either.

I was assuming that this happens before the deadline this year, but you're right it doesn't really say.

List of recently traded players that aren't as valuable as Pietrangelo but have gotten a better return than Zaitsev + Brown + 1st:

Evander Kane rental
Tomas Tatar rental
Paul Stastny rental
Ryan Hartman RFA
Rick Nash rental
Derick Brassard 2 yrs
Travis Hamonic
Brayden Schenn 3 yrs

the list goes on and on

The way I see it, Brown and Zaitsev do nothing for the Blues. Part of improving for next year is going to be internal promotions, and adding cap for guys that don't really do anything should be the opposite of what the Blues are looking to do. We've definitely beat this Pietrangelo trade to death but l think the ask needs to involve a young forward with upside (Kapanen or Johnsson), a top defensive prospect (Liljegren or Sandin), Zaitsev (to balance cap) and a draft pick that would depend on the look of the whole trade. Blues can also kick back a depth forward that would be a cheap replacement for Kap/AJ. Maybe Barbashev/Sundqvist/Sanford.

Yup, I agree. If you kick back another young forward takes away a bit of the blow from loosing a good young player. many people put much value on brown but he is a great utility player and is great for digging up pucks for goal scorers. Pretty much a carbon copy of Hyman but a bit faster. The issue is we have his replacement on the marlies.
