I dont like the idea of trading Tarasenko, but would this work for both teams? Might need extras on both sides to make it work salary wise, but is this a good starting off point?

As a Blues fan, I really like these trades, but the VGK trade seems lop-sided to me. Eakin is younger and more productive than Steen, but if you can buy Steen out of his NTC, I’d move him in a heart beat. Trade Steen straight up for Reaves.

The Steen trade was more or less just a throw in. Don't think it will happen as Armstrong loves him some Steen.

I don’t think he does lol. Unconfirmed, but Steen has used his NTC before and I’m pretty sure Armstrong knows Steen is a coach-killer.

Reason why I think he does, and possibly most convincing, is the fact he gave Steen the contract over Backes. Same length, reportedly Backes was willing to take about 5.5, yet Armstrong gave the contract to Steen instead.
